Too many shadows and the necklace is a distraction to me. IMHO, limit distractions such as jewelry and props because a portrait should bring the viewer's focus to the subject, not the clasp of the necklace or shadows. I also like to see the eyes facing the same direction as the face. Hope this helps!
bad lighting, blurry shot, slight burning along shirt. necklace "boob" is showing, should have been straigtened out before hand. ear-ring is also burnt out.
This appears out of focus.Upper lighting is causing unflattering shadows under her eyes and her hair appears as a mass of darkness. Catch light in eyes is good. Necklace turned to show catch is a bit distracting. Expression and pose are good.
What a fun shot. Looks like someone is going to be in trouble for taking this shot! ..seriously, Love the framing of her face with the slightly out of focus leaves. Works wonderfully with her.
