Why should we mind David, it's what Pixalo is here for! Good lighting, a tad soft-focused on the eyes and a bit tight crop above the head.

I like her stance and she has a lovely warm face. Well done

Cheers,
Rob

Nice model and a nice pose, could you tell us what setting's you used for this shot?

Of course not mate, as Rob has allready said that's what these sections are for... as long as you stick to the guidelines of 1 shot per day maximum in the Critique section, and of course as many as you wish in the Photo Sharing section there's no worries.

Nice photo, David.

Good pose and lighting. However, I am a bit offput that you cut off her left arm. Also, I thing that a tad of decenter would add effect. If you can't do that, just expand the frame and add white. Easy in PS, but I don't know if you have an image editor.

Agree that it is just a bit soft, but that may be the result of the compression. Usually as my final step in a portrait, I sharpen, then blur but add back the eyes and lips sharpened.
Everyone says that the eyes are the focal point and need to be spot on sharp, and I agree.
