Challenge: Natural Light Indoor Portrait (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D80
Lens: Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) for Nikon
Location: Letchworth State Park, Castile, NY
Date: Aug 18, 2012
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 1000
Shutter: 1/60s
Date Uploaded: Aug 18, 2012

 Shot on a very sunny day inside an enclosed picnic pavilion at Letchworth State Park, Castile, NY. My lovely niece Ashley Nicole spent the day with me, we shot all day. She was a real trooper! Pretty much shot, cropped, some slight adjustments to color and removal of a couple blemishes from her forehead. I wish this were not just an "indoor" portrait challenge because I got some ridiculously good shots all day.

Love the natural look to this portrait and her solemn but not sad expression. Pretty model, lovely light. Voted earlier.

her face is very blown out, maybe use a reflector next time, that is if you have one, had potential though, needs sharpening as well.

very pretty girl, focus seems a bit off and focused more on the shoulder and doorway than the face

Call it a "thing" that I have, but I hate it when the tops of heads are clipped off in candid or posed portraits - kind of ruins the overall effect.
