good shot.
Im not sure but u should increase f, so that face will be sharpener and more clear.In portrait I prefer to see bokeh behind the person.

Im sorry,but thats my opinion

why apologise for your opinion?

I like seeing short depth of field in portraiture at times, this is one of them!!

nice framing and capture, I wish you had the focus on her eies and not the hair

Since the eyes is the first interest for me.

Nice use of available light, did you use a reflector for fil?

Gooshin · 12-03-2008, 08:32 AM

judging from the size of the highlights you did a significant crop

what lens were you using?

JMR · 12-03-2008, 11:03 AM

A little on the soft side, but very nice quality to it just the same.

Hi devisor, the left eye could be sharper i agree, this had no reflector, just natural light on an overcast day. Wasn't even posed just a quick capture as my daughter turned her head.

no cropping, other than very small amount of space to the left and above the head

Lens used was Sigma 70-200, 2.8

Thanks JMR, little soft yes,
but 2.8 at 180 mm with no time to frame etc
