This one is my favorite. Her position within the frame, with the design on the ground leading your eyes into her from above and below and the open space on the left forcing you into her. It begs you to look at her. And then, she is so perfectly captured. Lighting is soft and even. Sharpness is perfect. Her expression so natural. Well done!

Much of what I said on the other image applies to this one as well. But I do perfer the other portrait due to the composition and being able to see both eyes.

What a wonderful portrait! I love the selection of BG color. It balances perfectly with the dog. The lighting is awesome and the focus perfect!

Oh, gorgeous! Love the light. Love the composition.

I'm divided over whether I prefer her looking down or if it would have been better to have her look into the lens. Maybe you have another of the same setup?

I like this one best. And she certainly doesn't look her age!

I like HDRs where you can't really tell if it's HDR or not (some are so "over the top HDR" that it's offensive to the eyes). I think you've done well here.

Oohh... I LIKE IT! As for the foreground .. it's okay. What it really needs is a "focal point". Something to fix your eyes on. A person in a red jacket fishing from the shore. Or a sale boat on the horizon. Something that would complete the picture.

Still, it's a beautiful landscape. I love it as is.

Wow, look at all that gorgeous hair!!! I LOVE long hair! I can't believe they are cutting it off. My daughter did that with her long hair. I cried. (well, internally anyway) Love the picture, congrats on the ribbon!
