I think the lighting and pose is a success. The focus has the feel of being a little soft, did you use a software package for skin softening? It is conspicuously flawless. The advice to crop out the green top is good.

really nice looking, her hair is a really cool color, another fun thing to try while standing on the chair is using a really shallow dof:

Yep, technicals are bang on - it will be interesting to see what you do when you begin to experiment with light and shadow a little more.

I need to borrow her hat for my trip to the Westminster Dog Show with MaryO. I like her steadfast confidence. It comes through in all of her photos. Her eyes are beautiful.

Ooooooohhh. . .help it did! Woo Hoo! I'm all proud to have had even a small part in the outcome of THIS! WOW! I thought she looked so beautiful with the red backdrop and the red hair, but sheeeeeesh, this snow bunny look on the green background is to DIE FOR! And that clarity trick is pretty cool, huh? I do believe this is my favorite so far!

I really love this portrait, Excellent in every aspect. The lighting is great, the pose and coloring is really good too. he only thing I might do is crop up from the botom and lose the green in the shirt.
