Clickma: I have concluded that as long as a portrait is basically competent (and yours is much more than competent, your lighting and posing is excellent) what really makes or breaks a portrait is the expression of the subject. You caught the young lady at the perfect moment, her expression conveys her feelings (at least during the portrait process) and makes me look at it again and again.

Thank you. That pleases me very much.

Both are fabulous. I have a 210 Heliar somebody in Vienna mounted into a Plaubel Makiflex Automatic Iris Lensboard. I see with your two examples why it so favored for LF Portraiture. So far I have only used mine for landscapes. I like how the world looks through the Heliar. I have a barrel 150mm f4.5 Heliar also I love to use in the studio for still lifes. I like that you can see the pores in the skin from a distance with beautiful rendition.
