My model is my daughter.
Who sat for me without complaint. A rarity. Anyway used available window light. Unfortuntaley I forgot to reset my ISO so this was taken with it set at 2000. Not happy about that but figured this was good practice for me anyway. Played around with Scott Kelby's Trendy High Contrast look and skin softening techniques.

Comments, Suggestions and honest critiques are most welcome. I want to improve.

Thank you!

Hi Becky, The lighting is very good & the model is beautiful, I do not like the noise reduction or softening skin editing, there are better ways to do this in photoshop but it takes a lot of time. The fact that it was shot at high ISO obviously effected this. If you are going for dark on the left side then I would of cloned out the tiny bits of hair/ear that was picked up by the lighting, otherwise very good, well done to all.

I see a rosy future for you doing portraits! Great job on this. I wouldn't change a thing! Hopefully your daughter will not mind posing once in a while because she photographs beautifully! Hehe! In years to come she may be glad to have all these gorgeous youthful photos to look back on!

You have a lovely daughter and this is a very nice photo. The only thing I don't care for is the crooked hat brim.
