There seems to be an annoying Moire pattern on her shirt. I assume the overexposed face, arm, and sleeve represent the sunshine that she is cooling off from -- might be a bit extreme. I think it would look better with less exposure.

I love this shot, maybe would like it more with out the bit of fan in it, but I like the color. 9

Really neat. Very vibrant, and it does give the feeling of "cool." The face, however, seems a bit overexposed.

I think that you need either more of the fan ... or none.

Nice idea and good image overall except the extreme hot spots on her left arm.

Cindi,

In looking at your "Show me your portraits!" thread, this is the photo that really stands out for me as a great portrait. It just seems so natural, relaxed and honest. I think in some of your portraits you are trying too hard to be creative and different, and the photos come out looking a little more staged or posed. No doubt this portrait is very much posed, but you don't get that feeling when you look at it - you just see a beautiful young woman looking straight through you into her future. The soft lighting, wonderful skin tones and colors are perfect.

Keep up the great work!

Earl B.

(p.s., I don't want this to read like I am being critical of your more creative shots, because I love them too!)

(p.p.s. Upon further review - I guess it wasn't "your" thread. I hope you don't mind the feedback anyway!)

I like this one best. The lighting is really good, and her pose too. Not so sure about the vignetting, though.
