Brian my friend. Firstly let me thank you for your comment on my latest attempt at portraiture. Much appreciated and so nice to hear from you.
As for this shot from you. I note the comments about technical imperfections which I take on board but personally I think it is an exquisite portrait. The white backdrop offers so much contrast and enhances the lady's profile and also the chair. I love it. Wondered how I missed it but now realise we had just set off on holiday when you posted it.
Best regards.
Den

I like you full figure arrangement, still maintaining a diagonal dynamism to it. Your backdrop was apparently over carpet, which shows many indentations and wrinkles. Maybe a hard floor, if available, would cure that. I, too, would prefer more modeling on the face as opposed to the flat frontal lighting, however, this kind of "beauty" lighting is often preferred by the subject. The photographer wants to expose "character" and the subject wants to hide "blemishes".

A very formal and 'old style' pose but carried beautifully by your model.
Love the tones of brown and the transition that leads to the ladies face.
I agree with Mariola's comments but the shot you have made with what you had is, IMHO, Very good indeed.

Mariola, I appreciate your comments. However, this was a "spur of the moment" shoot. I rushed over to the neighbor's house and set up my gear. I used his backdrop. It was well into the evening and we could not have had any sunshine into any windows. I will remember your tips for future set situations.

i would recommend positioning your subject close to the window to create natural looking effect. i prefer taking portraits using natural light for it brings out the beauty of skin tones, eyes and hair. it also overlooks many imperfections for the light itself is perfect. it is only my opinion but sun light brings out and perfectly presents the beauty of any object. on this picture i would direct her face at the window making sure that the eyes are in focus and shiny. my regards
