attempt at a portrait

raining all day so ithought i would try and use the natural light from the window. Fortunely for me my little loves to pose.. i was trying for a wistful dreamy sort of thing. Would appreciate any critiques, comments

What a wonderfully pensive expression. The whole shot is just wonderful, perhaps just a bit soft in places, but wonderful just the same.

Hi,
I agree wholeheartedly with LeeR.

This is a very nice portrait. The B&W is working really well as well as the crop. Lighting is spot on in my opinion. Nice work!

very nice. she is a good model. the black and white and her facial expression help capture a certain moodiness. the only thing that stands out to me is that you had a very shallow depth of field (i believe you had a 3.5 aperture). her right eye is i perfect focus, but her left is a little soft. not sure if this was intentional or not, but just something i noticed.

thanks guys, it is a little soft, i was messing around trying a few things in regards to PP and skin..
