Lovely portrait with great skin tones. I love the model's direct look into the camera with her lips open; it gives a very glamorous feeling. Furthermore, I love hand inside portraits and the way you've iincluded it is very natural and pleasant to see. I would try a tighter crop that doesn't show the yellow wall behind the sofa, even if this would cut a bit of her cap. Finally, I would also try an horizontal orientation that fully includes her left arm, in order to "trace" a diagonal line between her head and the left hand. Just a serie of considerations, Paul. You know, I like to receive helpful critiques and I always try to do the same. My best regards, Paolo
great shot Paul, but IMO you could crop an inch off the top and an 1.5 inches off the right and this would be a stronger shot, as the hair, arms and hat frame the face nicely. cheers Jason
