There's an unfair comparison...digital to Kodak Gold. You should have used Portra or Royal Supra! ;-)

Good, but the shadows are a bit distracting in my opinion.

Comment by Prof_Fate:
i thought of this very pic..however, i was doing to use each camer's flash as the lighting ...then i had an easier idea. the front of the digi cam is not lit well - a softbox or bounce card would have helped. not sure i like the shodows i see between cameras and behind the digicam

Great picture. As much I try to find a flaw in it, I can't. Well done.

Kimberly in the 'Golden Hour'

Greetings from the Critique Club!

The message
This is a great photo of a beautiful and vivacious woman. The outdoor setting suits her well. It doesn't quite catch the fabled "decisive moment"; her smile seems slightly forced. This gives it a bit of a "snapshotish" feeling--a photo that is well appreciated by those that know her, but doesn't make a real connection to strangers.

Creative choices
The "Golden Hour" lighting gives a great warm color to the subject. It also casts strong shadows that show the form of her face. There is enough ambient light (or perhaps you used a reflector?) to prevent the shadows from being too black. The point of view is complementary and works well here. Sharpness is just right. The landscape format is unusual for a portrait, but works well here to supply context and gives the image a more relaxed feeling.

Technical aspects
This image is technically perfect. Focus, exposure, color balance, etc. are all just right.
