Perfect

[Fatty23]

This came out just how i wanted it to. Please tell me what you think, it's one of my favorite shots i've ever took.

the rest of the shoot

Thanks in advance.

It's very crisp and clean and a lovely expression. You are right to be proud of it. It's a shame you cropped off the elbow on the left of the picture - maybe it would be better if you did a symmetrical crop on the other side?

Cheers

I agree totally with Mikes critique on this.
Very well done.

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.

better? thanks for the advice.

I like the crop much better. Took a look through the rest of the shoot. Some nice shots. I particularly liked "Smile", "Laugh", and "Calm Dam", with "Calm Dam" being my favorite out of the set

I agree with Xia_Ke on the crop. Along with what the others have said, I really like the lighting on her face. I've seen shots with multiple lights and reflectors that don't look as nice.
