I go back and forth on my satisfaction with the shadow on the face - this was at a very public place, so it gives some anonymity. Or its just a goof.

The hidden face is fine and the hat repeats shape in it's shadow. In effect a double that repeats the 2 legs angularity.

Be happy and proud of that image.

Was it shot press style handheld?

If you're looking for critique, I think the shadow is fine, what bothers me is that she isn't sitting upright and hunching causing belly folds, it's normal in terms of, hey, that's normal, but I would have had her sit a little more upright and back to reduce that.

Randy,

Certainly not handheld, I find my mamiya tlr about as much as I can reasonably handle with any confidence.

Thanks for the comments.

Well, a least part of that is the after effects of having two kids at once about twenty years ago, but that is a point well taken.

Thanks

Yes, I hope you understood I was aware of that, and that I think that is normal to have, not meant to be a "put down" just for side harsh lighting it accentuates it, but either way this image is beautiful and those are very honorable and brave belly marks, and a belated congrats!

no problem, I understood your meaning, and appreciate that you saw something I completely missed. That's exactly the type of response that is the most helpful to me.

Very nice work here. The 127 ektar is probably one of the most under appreciated lenses on the planet
