The emphasis this time was to show youth, freedom and being carefree (if that makes sense?).
Enjoy!

Portrait of a friend
Well on Sunday went to a friends place to fine tune my portraiture skills. Got my friends involve and turned out to be an awesome day. Good people, good location and good weather.
The emphasis this time was to show youth, freedom and being carefree (if that makes sense?). Enjoy!
Ron,
I know why you've kept the chain and post on the rh side in the first image, and it looks great, but I think it actually adds nothing to the image as a portrait. Crop them out, and just keep the lady; tell me what you think. Second one is marred by the individual bits of hair across her face. And you've absolutely nailed the light and exposure in these .... g.

You have generally done a great job in my opinion. My only quibble, and I am not sure if it really bothers me, is the comp in the first one. My general view is that the subject should look into the frame, not out of it. However, I think this is a case where the rule is well broken.
 Regards, Patrick
Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
The first shot is gorgeous. Your model is very natural.
Without the chain and pole you wouldn't be able to tell it was shimmering water in the background. The Colour and texture of the water really make the shot for me.
Thank you everyone for your valuable opinion. I'll take these onboard
Gary: In the first picture the reason why I added chain and poles in the composition was to also show more of the environment without it being 'too wide' and making it too busy. However having said that, I'll take your advice and play around with some cropping and see what I can come up with. After taking a look at the second picture, yes I have to agree the individual strands have marred the shot. Looks like healing brush to the rescue.
