My favorite photo in your portfolio.... I love the natural look (and colors) of it but I would dodge the keylights (slightly) and perhaps add touch of "glamour effect" for softer feel. but it is fine as is.

what a great portrait of a lovely girl. The expresion on her face is really good. I like the tight crop that makes her eyes the focalpoint. Great colours. Regards Stine

This is much better T. This crop feels right. Exposure is very good. Have you tried in B&W? It might be nice as well. But super job as is. D.

What a beauty TS. Now only is the model very beautiful, the picture is also beautifully shot. Technically it is great and I wish you make a bigger print and hang it in her room.

Thanks, Arrey. Your critiques are always welcome and appreciated. This is the one that will be printed and given to her father for Father's Day, since people seem to think this to be the better of the three.

Much better than the other one, so where is the 5 thumbs up button :), now i imagine one meter print from this photo, would be gorgeous to see it hanging from just an emty wall. Congratulations.

I absolutely love this full frame portrait. She has very nice skintones. Her eyes are stunningly beautiful. I really like how her hair curves with her face, and the angles frame the shot wonderfully. This is very good, this should earn a spot on the wall. Excellent!

I also think that you nailed it with this version. The first, with the crop of the chin, just looked a bit odd. The second was much better except for the small space to the right above the head which tended to catch your eyes and draw your attentiont from the face. This time, your full attention goes to those gorgeous eyes. Nice skin tones and expression, sharp, and a very pretty model to boot. What more could you ask for? Well done!

Best of the three portraits-- cropped well, nice off-center view, excellent handling of the skin tones and beautiful eye color, and a very sharp lens you have there! Nice work.
