A great portrait without ...boring smiles hahaha....she looks sad and really that hit the watcher, excellent quality but most of all excellent lighting conditions as the light hit her softly and at the same time the darkness of the background makes her viewed well into the frame, ofcourse placed well (not centered) into the frame. Good job.
be well!

Pouts make for a more interesting mood at times. This is brilliant. I'd have cropped a bit closer, eliminating bg distractions and made this a little more grungy to go with that look of hers.
Here's what I mean (attached): I adjusted Curves as the skin tones looked a smidge pastey and blended using overlay mode at 50% layer opacity. Selected background (5px feather) and added extra lens blur for more dof and finally added a vignette - radial gradient 150%/softlight blend mode, 50% layer opacity.
Hope you don't mind me playing around. It's just an idea :)

crop + curves + bg blur + vignette |

As it happens I was using an SB800 Speedlight bounced and diffused . . . this was shot outdoors but under an overhang so I didn't consider a fill flash . . . certainly couldn't have hurt I guess. :)

LMAO Sylvia!! Ok . . . no . . . I allow her that when she feels like it! I just play fight her off. I forget what exactly she was angry at but she is 100% certain to be happy as soon as I got my shot . . . after all - I'm a sucker for that look!

Thanks so much Robin! Are you kidding? Her Dad warned me she'd steal the wheels off our car . . . and I told him she can have whatever she wants so it's not possible to steal them! Add that to our reduced visit time and I end up looking for things she might want me to give her! Self-confessed SAP . . . with no shame on that count!

Of course she can pout, she's a kid...not to mention a GIRL! Funny thing is, twenty years from now that pout (which she has already perfected) will have the same effect on people. ;)
Fantastic Doyle...great use of light to help convey Jenna's mood, excellent composition and tones. Well done Grampa...I'll bet you ended up giving her want she wanted!
Take care...Robin
