You have captured her and her incredible eyes very well here - the light and focus really draws me to them. The image seems to come off a bit 'bright' or maybe a bit lower in contrast than what I usually like to see, but the glow of the background seems to work nicely.

The glow on her face, the warmth of the sun implied, the relaxation of the moment - this is really good work.

I like the choice of earth tones behind and around here to emphasize the colors of her outfit. It works all together very well.

That's nice. It has such a "caught up in the moment" carefree feeling.

Composition: Again with the leading lines. Beautiful. Great square crop too.

Lighting/Exposure: Great spotlighting of sunshine on her face. I like the contrasty feel.

Pose: I'd like to see this with her arms on her shins. The way you have her posed isn't bad, don't get me wrong, it is quite pensive. I would just like to see a variation to see if it works too :P

Suggestions for Improvements: Again, you have me at a loss :)

Her hair blowing in the wind really adds a little extra to this image. Very nicely done.

Composition: You have a great angle on this one. I like that you bent down and didn't shoot from over her. Your leading lines are always SO wonderful.

Lighting/Exposure: I am lovin this light. Her hair is just aglow with beautiful warmness.

Pose: Her arms lead right back into her face. It's really quite striking. I appreciate that you followed all of the rules for excellent portraiture.

Suggestions for Improvements: I can't think of any at all.

Glad to be doing this SC with you. She is a very beautiful subject. I loved your card :)
