Terrific portrait! Good composition, natural expression, appealing tonality....

Hi, Deardorffuser. when you first (?) posted a portrait of this young lady, I commented that she had the remarkable look of a visage from a Leonardo painting. That was not the case in all the portraits, but here it is again. A lovely portrayal of a quality of mind and heart, complemented beautifully by pose and sweep of the hair.

Very interesting grey tones, wonderful model ! Like it !
I like it too. But the white spots above her head could be toned down a bit as they are distracting, and I wish the flowers were in focus. Also, I would have liked to have seen this same pose but with the gaze being at the camera.

I like this portrait, but I don't like the lighting. Too much light from overhead causing racoon eyes and dark shadows under the chin and other portions of the face. May I suggest that the next time you have a situation like this see if you can find some sort of black cloth or light weight wood or just something that you can somehow put above your subjects head out of the photo. Its call subtractive lighting, and it can do wonders for getting rid of unwanted shadows on the face and squinting.
