Window was approx 5 feet to my right. I decided not to dodge the shadow on the right side of her face to maintain the directional quality of available light. Let me know of your thoughts!

I like it, and the shadowing is fine...glad you kept it. It adds dimension. :)

It's not too strong a shadow - like LisaJH said, it adds dimension. Nice shot.


Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

Nice shot, but the skin and hair seem a little too smooth...

Yes, I do need to work on my PP. This was my first attempt at skin smoothing based on an online PS tutorial. I will get there! Using the nifty fifty at f1.8 contributed to the softness somewhat as well.
