HI Rog, nice shot, lovely subject dont know if its my monitor but her hair seems very blown out on the left side of her head. The detail is gone, on a plus it makes you look at the gorgeous eyes this lady has.

Thanks Dennis and you're right it was caused by the effect of taking the shot into the light to the left but like you, I thought it really does concentrate your view on her eyes....

Its a lovely shot but I also find the brightness of the bricks to the right of her face quite distracting, is it worth trying to clone them to look like the lower bricks?
Her eyes are absolutely amazing and you've captured them brilliantly.

Fabulous shot Rog
Maybe a touch of fill flash would have helped keep the blown detail in but i like it all the same. wonderful skin and gorgeous eyes

This angelic face cancels the blow out at left side. Good shot and b&w version from a beautiful young Lady!
Thank you for sharing.

I love the tilt of the head...that really brings some subtle, interesting diagonals into the composition. It's coming in direct layers; firstly, the streaks in her hair, then her brows and thirdly in the folds of the scarf...I think works beautifully. I can see whay this is one of your favorites.

A very good shot. I like the highlight coming in from the left. The shot looks 1960's, was that your intention? Very pretty girl. Nice one.

Thanks Leslie, Fay, Rob much appreciated.

It wasn't Rob but someone else said the same thing to me and I could see the similarity. I just loved Emma's smile in this shot and was so pleased how it came out.
