Comment by moodville:
I dont know much about portraits so my opinions are completely personal preference. I like that you filled the entire frame with the frame. The hair and scarf do a good job of being a natural frame. Her expression seems natural and warm and comes across as genuine. There are no distracting shadows and the lighting is soft yet warm. Her eyes seem a little soft and dark - a little editing work and I think it would really raise the level of the portrait as the eyes seem to be one of the main focal points.

I like the capture on the clouds alot. The houses though seem to detract from the great effect. Perhaps a crop just above the houses to capture the color, the clouds, and the mountains? Even with that commentary, this is a great shot.

Took awhile for me to see the line of light. But when I did I decided to bump up my rating. This is a beautiful photograph.
