    Senior portrait

    Trying some senior portraits for a friend, I was wondering what everyone thought of this shot. All comments welcome.

    Well done, IMO. I'd probably try to take a little of the red/yellow out of her skin. Just a little. But it looks great.

    Do you have any of her looking at the camera?

    Conventional wisdom says she needs more room on the right. As is, she would be better looking at the camera.

    very good drop off in the depth of field on the right side causing her to be nicely isolated from the busy BG. I agree with dray and AE that maybe looking at the camera would be more effective. Still very good.

    Nice work Tyson. I like the fact she is not looking at the camera yet AE makes a good point with a little room on the right. Two thumbs up as this is the best you have posted. Did you should RAW? You can take the guess work out of the skin tones with an 18% gray card.
