This is my first submission, and I thought that it came out quite well. I love environmental, artistic portrature. This evening just happened to be a beautiful one, and the little girl mad a wonderful model.

The message A beautiful setting, and the image has a nice soft and peaceful mood. And it does make the girl seem extraordinary!
Creative choices The photo seems setup, not that there is anything particularly wrong with that, but having the beginnings of a painting on the paper and some paint on the palette would have made it more realistic and effective. I also think this would have worked better in landscape mode, with lots of space in front of the model. (Or maybe I just want to see what she's thinking of painting!) The setting works well, and the colors are great. The soft focus is perfect.
Technical aspects The overall exposure is fine, but the girl and her easel are too dark. A fill-in flash might have remedied this, or perhaps a Levels adjustment could have helped a bit.
Thank you all So much! I didnt do as well on this first one...but ya will see more of me! Sweet comments and constructive critisism are learning tools and I appreciate em both!
