maybe is the fall colors, but colors look a little dull to me, could be more rich.

is that taconic? (I know I spelled it wrong)

Taghkanic is east of the Hudson....the Finger Lakes are more NW I believe...

Where exactly in the Finger Lakes Region? I was just up to Watkins Glen/Letchworth/Tremen this past July and a bunch of friends are there this weekend shooting fall colors....

I agree the colors are a tad dull...but, from what I've seen here in NY so far, they are dull....BLEH! Still a nice image, though

Only thing I _might_ do is to bring her to the right more to get a Rule of Thirds going...I'm drawn to the leaves to her right at first...

Best,

Nice shot...a little fill flash to brighten her face a bit may have helped.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! The falls were near Trumansberg, NY....I forget their name though....

The lighting is a bit flat, and the shot looks blurry around her face. Not out of focus, just badly compressed maybe...

nice shot.

Nice. The leaf coloring is a bit flat as everyone else said, but you've got to hit it at the right time as they're turning.

I like the falls in the background too.

The only thing I'd have done differently is crop it so there's less free space above her head.

Good shot. I'd frame it.

nice but yes, flash would have helped it big time, do you own a flash yet? if not you should, they are great but almost needed for portraits.. esp out side, they help lots!
