I have more photo's from the shoot I did the other day and really liked this just wanted your thoughts. Plus I'm going to shoot her again next Thursday @ a later time and will not have any shadows on her face!!

Nice Shot

I think a tight crop of this photo and you could have a great head shot.
Her eyes really pop and that is always a good thing.

Take Care,

By the tiny catchlights in her eyes you must be using camera flashes. Most people dislike that type of catchlight. She is sitting pretty square to the camera and this makes her as broad as possible. Turn her so the forward shoulder is catching the main light behind it and bring her head toward the light. This gives a short light on the face and creates pleasant shadows. The back of her hands are facing the camera and that is a no no. Makes the hand very broad. Turn the outside edge up and shoot into that if you want to use that pose. Was there enough light to bump up the ISO and do existing light with a reflector fill? That gives you a beautiful light. Hope that helps.

Scott - thanks for posting.

Before I comment, just wondering what you did, if anything, in post-processing.

The only post processing was done in raw and her eye's in CS4.
