This was cropped before printed because there was a big chemical spot in the top corner. No idea what caused that.

Wonderful composition and fantastic capture! I love how the complexity of tones in her clothes and face contrast with the simple background. Beautiful shot!

And that out of focus lady at the background...sublime David. K

A great portrait. Looks as you had a really good contact with the model.

Agree, love the unguarded gaze, and the second figure in the background is lovely.

The in-camera meter was obviously being led astray by the bright sky, leaving the face very dark. A hand held incident meter or a spot meter would have given a better reading. The composition is excellent.

Thnaks for the input Morry. VEry backlit and obviously fooled the meter (and me!). I have maintained detail in sky behind though and I sure a further print can lighten the fore. I should use my meter but it's one more thing to carry around and I'm trying to escape all the 'stuff'!
