Default Spring Breeze

Photographers Comments
I was practicing with my model looking for the right light and background on a bright sunny day, when a lovely subtle breeze came up.
It really made the picture, highlighting her hair against the treed background.

Very pretty girl, Debbie, and a nice fresh looking image, but I think you needed to be in much closer to concentrate on the face. Have an edit if you want?

lovely looking model, agree the backlight of hair is good, but i would have had a reflector to bounce the light back into her face.

Thanks so much everyone.
Dennis, you and my son must think alike, as he gave her the necklace. I'm assuming you did the same with your wife.
Carregwen, I've played around in editing to crop in closer, but can't seem to get it right. I like the green background because it sets off the hair, and the shirt puts weight in the shot, though I could crop some of it out. I found too much didn't look right. I'll take another look at it.
Terry, I'm so wanting a reflector!! Will be investing in one soon. Can't wait.

wonderful shot Debbie. I agree with your comments re BG contrasting nicely with her hair! Breeze timed itself just right! Great work!
