callmebrick, nice portrait. Looks like you were shooting into the setting/set sun and the subject's face was in shadow, is this right? The light seems to come from behind or to camera right. Turning the subject to camera right or moving the camera position to the right would have worked well in my estimation.
It was an intentional choice to have sun behind her. I was trying to get a halo effect in her hair by having her backlit. Like so https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iWs7OqLo-LQ/maxresdefault.jpg
I had a reflector panel but it wasn't enough. Fill flash would have saved me, or if she'd arrived on time. I was surprised how fast the sun set once golden hour started.
Thanks for the comment!
Bill. I wish I had used a Commercial Ektar.
