My first shoot with a new Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens!
Went to the park and there was this great spot where the warm sun was coming through the trees. Used fill light on the right of subject, basic levels adjustment.
(my first submission!)

Camera Work/Technical: Well, after 3 and a half years of waiting, this is a pretty nice entry. It looks like your focal point is nicely placed, and I like your depth of field use. i can see just enough detail in the background ot know what I am looking at, yet the blurring prevents it from competing with the subject for my eye's attention.
Lighting: I do like the start that you had with your lighting here. However, I thin that you could have added just a bit more fill light to her right side as well as closed that aperture just a bit to keep the hot spot off of her hair. The light falls off just a little too much leaving her right hand a bit too dark for my taste.
Composition/Content: I really like how this image has been composed. The crop keeps enough background, yet really serves to accentuate the subject.
My Opinion: I like it, but I'd like some slight lighting changes. Even still, I feel that 5.4 was a little low for this one.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
Beautiful portrait.
If i was to be really critical I would say the hair is a little blown out.
Love the composition. I would have croped a little lower so as not to crop at the knee.
