 I am SO happy with the way this has come out. The first really outting with the 70-200F4 and I am so thankful to my wonderful girlfriend, Michelle, for taking a day off from her revision to let me play. We had great fun doing this and have about 100 shots that are all different but equally special to choose from, but this just one just clinched it. Its hard to see at 640 pixels but she is the only part of the photo in focus, which may upset some people but I love it, my only other worry is the colours my be a bit too bright for some. It reminds me of a Monet painting. I'd love it to do well, but I really dont care as its my favourite photo I've ever taken.

red is soooo friggin hard to capture right on digital. Don't feel bad that I think you failed a bit here. (they look quite saturated) Still a nice contemplative portrait. I would have liked to see her eyes, even if she wasn't looking at the camera.

Neat composition. Something seems a bit off and I'm not sur eI can put my finger on it. Perhaps a little overuse of the shadow/highlight feature? Oversaturation of reds? I'm not sure. :/

lovely composition, I think I would have liked the hat back a tad to see some of her eyes, colors seem a little washed out on the flowers.

Love the colors and composition in this shoot. I would have liked to seen the eyes of the model even if she is studying the flower IMHO. good luck -8-

Great shot, maybe a little more depth in the colours would work well?
