I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
A beautiful portrait. The exposure is perfect. Great dof, colours and clarity too.
I agree about the elbow.
A suggestion might be to have that elbow on the grass next time, with her fingers through her hair. A more relaxed natural looking pose. This may also help the composition, making it possible to have your model off to the left of the frame.
Only nitpicks---the elbow, as others have pointed out, and it seems like the sky's a little washed out. Other than those two points, I love it. Great vibrant colors. Nice DOF.
I think perfect exposure on the skin is much better than perfect exposure on the sky.
A way to overcome that is to take two shots. One with the model and one without. And then photoshop your perfect sky in :thumbsup:
And in any case I think fatty is only using a point and shoot in auto mode so the camera decided what was right.
