Hi manno,

Did you just want to share this pic with us, or did you want full critique on it? I ask because you've put it in the Critique forum, but haven't specified that you want critique on it.

Anyway, nice photo

It's a lovely picture of a beautiful lady Manno

The only thing I don't get is the back-lighting point. The crop is so tight (I love it, it isn't a problem at all) that we can't see the backlight except for in the bottom right corner where it distracts IMO. The thing is that the eye of the viewer is naturally drawn to the brightest point of a picture and in this case it is ulling the eye down and away from her lovely face.

She has lovely eyes but they are a tad dark, particularly her left eye, which I think is partly because the camera is trying to balance the bright light behind her. Bring up the eyes, dumb down that overly lit area and you have a real winner

Well done, I bet your wife loves it... she should!

Cheers,
Rob

Really nice shot of your Wife, Martin Like Rob, I think the bright corner pulls the eye away from her, and maybe the eyes could be a little sharper?

I love the crop, and the angle of her head. Let's see more.
