Hello

I'm more into landscape and macro but I did take few poitraits of my wife that I'm happy with.
This one is from 2010, not much PP done, just some exposure and sharpening.

Any good? What could be improved?

    Yes.

    Minor nits like blown top, hair over her R eye don't matter (for me).

    I wondered what cropping a bit off LHS might look like for a 5:4 ... but again ... minor / irrelevant :)

    Thanks

    BTW: it's not a studio shot or anything fancy. We were sitting on patio in Greek hotel in the evening and I was snapping away with my Pentax and external flash. No preparation whatsoever, not even makeup.

    For a snap shot it's first rate. I don't mean that as a left-handed compliment. I really like it.
    If it had been a studio shot, well of course there are improvements you could have made, but why go there. It should not be judged as a studio shot.

    I like it. You have captured a look and mood. That's more important than a perfect image.

    AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!

    and for the record, I agree. This shot catches the mood down to the ground. She seems really playful.

    It is a lovely portrait and one can tell that the model is at ease . If I may comment, then I would frame picture in portrait format versus landscape and avoid central placement of the object.
    Well done.

    I really like it too. I think that the hair over her eye actually adds to it, suggest's who she really is. Perfectly done portraits are nice but I like this type much better.

    The only change I'd make would be to the crop - light, expression and pose are spot on. thumb.gif
