Everything looks perfect to me. The first question I asked when looking at it was the diffusers/reflectors etc used. Wow. Beautiful light. Your lens is amazing, but your photography is as well ;)
Wonderful image, she will be delighted. And the exposure looks perfect to me.

Many thanks Nick. We found a nice place to shoot with great light... love the 135L... an amazing lens to say the least. Glad the shot looks nice on your monitor. Thanks again! Hatch

While she is a beautiful woman, and mostly this is a nice shot, something looks off in terms of the lighting on her face. It almost looks like you dodged her eyes, to lighten them or something. Perhaps fiddling with levels, etc. could add a bit of black to the image? Her face is very bright and it looks like details have been lost in her eyes and cheeks (which are quite white).
Otherwise, I like the pose, DoF and colours in the image. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Frank. It's a nice portrait but I think there is too much light on her face. You can go for gamma correction and reduce it a little. And it shouldn't have been cropped from her arm. Regards Alper

Thanks for the comments... the exposure isn't hot... reads 200-217 in the red channel... This was shot under a large overpass...very diffused light... no artificial lighting. The crop... not sure how I would not crop out the arm if this is to be more of a head shot. I leave the arm below the sleeve and then the arm is distracting... takes away focus on her face/eyes. Go lower and then you have a 3/4 portriat. So... I guess what I am trying to say is I appreciate you taking the time to reply... but... I can't agree with your comments. Hatch

Thanks for the reply. I meant the side in cropping and at least on my monitor, I still think the light is too much. I appreciate the reply. Regards. Alper

Very pretty vivid colors. Nice focus, dof, and exsposure. The lady has a sweet expression as well. Hope the whole family portraits turned out this nice.
