Oh Bec! I loved this photo the minute I saw it in the challenge! It's such a beautiful, STRONG portrait. And she is so beautiful! Yes, she is definitely getting that beautiful young "lady" look about her! Sniffle sniffle, huh???
Very nicely posed and kudos to the natural look here with the wild hair, making it look more like a candid. Nice job on the lighting too.
ok, I confess, I have a soft spot for freckles... :)
Nice portait. Good lighting and a well-filled frame. Focus and DOF are good too. I think that wispy blonde hair was just crying out for a colour photo though.
lovely portait looks fantastic at 720x720...great detail and connection...would have liked to have seen this in colour as I can imagine her eyes and skin are wonderful...lovely 8
Oh yes. This is beautiful! What an amazing 3-dimensional quality to this photo. I love her hair, her skin tones and the way you have captured a real connection with her. Excellent portrait!
