Hi, everyone! I should just call this "photos of my sister" because this is yet another that I'm sharing...I am in the process of building my portfolio and I am trying to get some solid opinions and guidance that will help me on this journey. I appreciate ALL of your feedback because it let's me know that I'm doing something right at least and let's me know what I need to change. Thank you in advance!

This is a beautiful portrait, you should be very pleased with this. Nice light and detail.

Just watch the details around the frame - the person in the background is quite distracting and by waiting a second or two could have been avoided. Your watermark, while a nice design, is a bit imposing - try making it smaller and less intense in colour.

I would also remove the hand on the wall.

agree with the background issue and that it's a nice photo in general.

I don't, however, really like her facing and being so close to the wall. It feels a bit forced/cramped.

Also, having looked at it in large version on flickr, I believe that you used a central focus point which focused on her lips and not her eyes.. but that could be my eyes only!

I still very much like the feel and colors and tone of the image. Well done.
