Wonderful subject for a photo....she's a very pretty young lady :)

Wonderful piccie :)

[Octane]

Isn't she just? :love: :)

I'm preparing a portfolio for her out of my shots. Would love to work with her again -- have a few emotive image concepts in mind I'd love to realise.

Thanks for looking and commenting!

Nice and sharp H. Only comment I'd make is the stray hair below her left eye - easily touched up though.

Wow! Nicely done H.

Just to be really picky, I find that at the top right of shot, the
out of focus transition on the hat (scarf/whatever it is women
call these things) looks a bit too forced. But reall, great pic.

Cheers,
Jason.

That's part of a rather large rock she's nestling in Jason. ;)

Rofl!

[koputai]

Oh yeah! That'd make a rather heavy hat! It looked like lace or something.
The OOF still looks a bit harsh in its transition.

Cheers,
Jason.

[Octane]

Thanks, guys!

Mike, what you loling about? :P

David, definitely sharp -- this photo has been touched up to remove blemishes -- should see how sharp the original was. Razor blade style! I will remove the stray hair -- I did see it but left it. :)

Jason, Chris is correct -- it's part of the rock feature on the beach that she was sitting in at the time. The transition just shows how shallow f/5.6 is at such close range. I would have been just outside of 1.5m away from her (MFD). Do you reckon I should blur the rock feature a bit so that it's not as harsh?

Cheers, guys. :)

Sorry H was ROFL'ing to Chris's comment to Jason. It's not a scarf, it's a rock :)

Nice portrait!

[koputai]

No I don't think so. I guess it's just the way that 'I' look at it. To me
the rock sits there just like a fashionable hat or fascinator would.

A slightly wider crop would put the rock more in context.

Cheers,
Jason.

Cheers, Rick. :)

Rowland -- oops -- I removed the stray hair. :)
