I like very much this portrait Angela.I believe that the lighting is perfect and it does not need to be improved in anything.The model is very pretty as it is it also his sweet expression.Perhaps the shining white tape is not the most perfect,but it is a smaller detail next to the beauty than it radiates all the composition.I love its freckles, their blond hair, its tender smile and the admirable brightness that radiate their eyes.Well done!Best regards,Marta

You've got the lighting just about right, in my opinion...very even and perfect for lots of portrait/fashion, etc. I do hope you continue to experiment, using reflectors, hair lights, etc., so as not to get into a 'perfect light' rut. The image is almost too sharp for me and could benefit from a bit of softening. Notice each and every strand of hair, including the ones that are out of place, can be counted, as can each freckle, eye lash...you get the point. I don't think it is always necessary to have ultra-sharp portraits. She's very pretty, and a softer focus/light would turn this into a real keeper. Good work.

hello Angela,a beautiful Portrait, the pretty young woman radiates freshness and joy of life, I likes the lateral float, the studio light brings a positive effect, beautifully is also the colors in its naturalness, otherwise I am in agreement with the preceding notes the bright handle am small little unfavorable, very nice photo work, congratulation...best regards,Gisela

What a bright bubbly looking portrait this is Angela. I think the skin tones match the freckles and hair colour perfectly. Your lighting is shadow free and refreshing with fine definition throughout the whole photo. Ceratainly the white strap is a negative especially if it's a bra strap but this is not enough to detract from the refreshingly natural pose of your fresh faced model.Focus is fine with good emphasis on the eyes and overall I think this is a photo to be proud of.

Hi Angie. This is a nicely cropped and sharp shot. I like the background choice as it doesn't intrude. For me, her face is just a little light and I feel that the strap has to go. Regards.
