Also, to me it has that "camera right in her face" look. I think it would be better if shot from further back with a longer focal length. Ace Rimmer -- "What a guy!"

Also, the focal point seems to be a little bit behind Santa. Thanks for the comments.

Aquaman Senior Member  More info | Dec 19, 2010 14:01 | #5 Image #1: Straight-on shots of a person's face are rarely flattering, and as a rule of thumb, they should not be taken (However, like all rules of composition, it is a rule that can be broken under certain circumstances). If her head was turned a few degrees to the left or right, and her eyes looked at the camera, the image would be more appealing, as a portrait. (I am not saying that she looks bad in the image. She looks quite lovely. It is just a way to make the image more dynamic and interesting.) Canon 7dii with an EFs 17-55; EF 50 1.8; EF 70-200 f2.8L; and EF 300L

I think you will be happy with both of those lenses. They both work great for the money and can produce quality images. Keep practicing everyday!
