This is a wonderful image and maybe a great example of what can happen when you stop create an image and simply allow yourself to react and capture the light. (an assumption given the gallery title)

Austin - Week 1

Great portrait!

I have many people object when I crop off the top of the head, but this is a perfect example of why in can be so affective. By taking the entire head of the subject out of the composition, the focus goes right to the eyes.

I really like the overall pose, including the tilt of the head.

One opinion... a little more contrast may help for a portrait of a male, but that more of a topic for discussion rather than problem.

thanks for sharing!

Sierra....week 2 of PAW

Fantastic portrait! Technically well executed and it shows a lot of your subject's character.

If I had to offer any critique, I would like just a little more space around her right eye (left of frame). This is very picky and it really doesn't take away from the image, it's just an opinion if it helps.

thanks for sharing

Love this image!

Do you think of the post processing as you are shooting or does this come later and you are looking at the images?

While I know this isn't a snap-shot, I like that it has a very casual and 'real' feel about it. If this was hanging on a wall I wouldn't be thinking good portrait session, I would be thinking about the child and wondering what he was up to with that towel.

This is a really nice image. One thought/opinion, maybe move the main light just a bit higher so the highlight sit on top of her cheeks.

The Pose

Excellent work! Wonderful pose and expression, nice depth to the lighting, and I like the falloff or vignette on the background. Not a thing I would change here.

Great eyes and fun expression. Is that window light, I'm trying to figure it out from the catch lights?

I really like this image. The rim light from behind adds interest and depth and her expression comes off as very real.
