Nice portrait, the model looks very relaxed with you. Would be even better with a bit cropped off the top and her hands in the shot. Overall, very nice!
I like the dof on this on, everything seems to be in focus that needs to be. I would like th shot a little better if she was not cropped so much at the bottom of the picture and on the hands. Looks like a little fill flash or reflected light on the face would have brought out the highlights in her face. Kelly you are learning at an amazing speed. you are doing pretty good. I love your poses, I wish I had your knack for posing. I just can't seem to make them seem "natural". Keep up the good work, I hope your classes are going well,
Hi Kelly, this is good. Just a few nitpicks. You need some more light in the face. We should be able to see her eyes. Also, when composing this type of shot, it is usually advisable not to cut off fingers or fingertips. I like the background a lot in this. If you can re-shoot, try shooting with a little bit of reflected light in the face, and moving back a teeny bit, either physically, or with your zoom.
