Nicely captured.

Beautiful child. Slightly soft. Was that intentional?

Hi Mark!

Beautiful young lady you have here.

What would you think of this…



Reason:

Get the eyes on the top third or higher. Most important reason.
It will also lose the OoF hair wad on the top which is one of the brightest areas of the photo and draws the eye.
Bring her beautiful smile and eyes right up to us.
Give those some more sparkle. (some local sharpening)

Just a Theory Mark! She is a stone cutie!

Great B&W. The soft look works. I do not think sharpening would work but that is
only my opinion.
Cheers Mugge

My first thoughts were for a crop, then I saw Terry has recommended exactly what I was thinking.

You might get away with fractionally less in the way of cropping, if you preferred a little more space.

[mark4583]

Yes I like the crop also, thx

Nice light. Well done.

Slightly soft. Was that intentional?

+1 to re-iterate that question above and another if you would answer please -

What was your Shutter Speed?

Shutter speed was 1/320 iso 200. Didnt have anything in mind when I took the shots other than she was sitting in front of the window with the soft light on her and she wont sit for long so I just took a few shots while she stayed in one place for a bit! lol

Thanks for answering.
