She does have emotion in her expression but it could be any number of emotions which keeps you guessing. This is the kind of portrait I really love. Very nice.

Keep posting these, I like where you're going. What lens did you use?

At first I struggled with the expression but it really is a wonderful portrait of who she is at this moment. Well done Matt.

Does she like it?

Cheers,
Bill

I used my Caltar 21o for this Alan...and thanks..

Whlogan, she did say her mom asked if she was mad, sad, or scared. I said "good"!

She liked it Bill, but her mom...well, I think it'll grow on her..but she only got the silver version too. Thanks.

I find her expression one of frankness; relaxed and open. Well done.

As for the tone; cream and sugar?

I do not see what anyone is complaining about. It seems people are trying to fit the image to "their" definition when it is yours that is important. I for one like this image a great deal. It is an excellent portrait and the printing treatment is well chosen.

Very well done image !! I have a favorite coffee spot myself and all the girls there are super nice (I haven't had to order for a long time now as they know my routine and my tip and if my daughter is with me they automatically prepare her milk with valencia and vanilla ) but if I even suggested portraiture they'd likely think I'm that I'm a nutcase perv. --so I guess I'm a spineless perv. as you had the nerve to actually do it !! You're a rather Nervy Perv. I guess and I'll give you credit for that and this terrific image !! Very intense expression and I can't decide if she's so uncomfortable with the whole ordeal, curious as to your equipment, or just willing, barely, to let you photograph her !! Again the end result is, I'm sure, unlike anything she's ever had done before--very impressive !!
