Lovely portrait of a lovely model. Cheers!

Nice - as always.

I like the sitters expression, her beautiful eyes, the soft flattering lighting and the general relaxed feel of this portrait, excellent work congratulations very well done.

Very nice portrait!

This is my favorite, but both images are very nice.

Thanks folks, the semi Matt doesn't scan the best.- Steve

Very nice portrait! Lovely.

Excellent, Steve!

Actually, I am going to go against the grain here and say that I don't really care for this pose. Her eyes and nose are at odd angles. One eye is rather flat and the other is darker and yet has a brighter catchlight. Which if you were going for an eerie effect, it would work, but you arent. I am quite surprised that the other image you posed hasn't received many comments. I quite like the other one and I think the pose is much stronger as well. -Except perhaps for the models feet, but that could be cropped out easily enough. I like the the added interest of the truck (?), I like her pose, and I like the translucent dress that hints at her shape. I am not going to guess at the reason this one has received more praise, but maybe I can direct some to the other submission.

Thanks for the input Darin. There was not much time to compose these images I posted. They are more or less snap shots while my daughter coordinated the shoot for grad pics. She did a much better job than I however I was satisfied considering the situation. Again, thanks for the input! Steve
