A nice attempt indeed... I wish there was a little more light on her face and less on the background ... (my 2 cents) try to be at least 1-2 stops brighter on the face then your backgroud ... good luck

Beautifull smile yes, nice focus but it would have been nice to get a bit more light in her face.

This is an UPLIFTING photo that I was glad to have jump on to my screen during a LONG voting process on a 500 entry contest! It made me smile ... I would have liked a bit more tonal range and focus on the face but I still have to give this a 7.

I like the use of the hair light but wish her face was more lit up as well (perhaps by using a reflector).

the light on her hair is very nice but she needs some on her face, perhaps if she turned into it a bit

nice face and great expression - i would have liked a little more light on her face - brightening up her teeth and eyes just a little

Nice lighting on hair, but face comes out too dark, appealing smile and eyes, framing slightly too tight at left = 5

Indeed it is, but the face is in complete shadow, resulting in just a large gray area. A reflector or white posterboard held up in front of her face on the left side would have made a HUGE difference by getting some nice highlights on that side.

It is a beautiful smile...but technically not good picture quality. Where is the light on her face?

Find the face to be a little too dark....
More lighting would have been better, try using a reflector with your natural light.

Light on her hair but none on her face leaves this image hurting

Her face has no depth because no direct light is reaching it.
