My daughter

Here's a practice shot for her school photo whatta ya think?

I love her green eyes! beautiful daughter!

Beautiful girl and a great shot. The only thing I dont like is that lacy thing on her shoulder.

nice shot. great eyes. her face is a little centered for my taste. you could try and crop a little off the top. anyways, nice job with the photo and loving the bg

Thanks for your kind words. That was practice for tonight where I will be shoting senior portraits at dusk. That's the back lighting I was after so cross your fingers for success tonight!

Little too much headroom, although that could work to your advantage if you're looking to make an 8x10

Sorry the pose doesn't do it for me. I really am not enamored of shooting from lower angles and having the model look up and away like this. Nice job on the fill flash though. Is it my monitor or is there some nasty banding in the background?

I love it the way it is... what a beautiful girl!!

I like the colors and the lighting, and she is a beautiful girl, but it looks like she is about to blink.

People he did say it was a practice shot, I think it is fine as it is. She is a beautiful girl, the setting and background works very well, and despite the one comment to the contrary this is a great angle. Bottom line he did a good job with fill light, pose, and execution. This one works for me.

Nice photo. Pretty subject. Yeh, I think it need to crop a little bit on the top.

If it's a practice you should be able to go out and replicate picture' as it is with a sun set it makes it hard to be consistent.

Thank you for your comments and critique.
I intensionatly positioned her with the sun right behind her head. That was my plan to have the sun give a litltle shine through with a glimmer.
The lower angle was one of the several I shot I also expermented with various angles but ultimately, I wanted the effect with the sun right behind her head.
For fill flash, I used 2 strobes a 580EX and my old Nikon SB26 both set with a light meter.

Nice shot, post the official pics when they're ready.

Very pretty girl...
