For someone not knowing "1/12 of a thing about lighting" or photographing models you did a OUTSTANDING job here! Reading your description (and taking a quick look at your gallery) that you don't do portraiture much I am astounded that you don't do more. Truthfully this is very, very professional work on par with what you see in fashion magazines. Your sister is a very photogenic model with very lovely and captivating eyes that really reach out and make eye contact with the viewer. That slight smile you have captured here also pulls us in. Sometimes I see it akin to the smile a passing stranger may give you one generally cannot help but to smile back. Other times I see it as a knowing smile of something mysterious to us but known just to her - kind of like that little smile on the Mona Lisa that always has us thinking 'what the heck is she smiling at or about?!?!". Going to the technicals: the lighting here is fabulous! It compliments the skin tones of your model and brings out the tones & contrasts of her hair. Focus is wonderfully sharp the eyes are the first thing to reach out and grab you. Love how you frame the composition closely around her face - where it keeps the viewer's attention focused on your main subject.

I love how the kitty just pops out from the background. This reminds me of some kind of oldfashioned pic. Is this done by changing the aperture? It seems to me that if I took a pic like this, I could not get this kind of effect where the kitty really stands out, the background is blurred, parts of the grass in the foreground are in focus. Just a really cool pic.
