For being new to this Moncee I think you've done a great job. Only two small things I see, the leaves in the upper left and the partial hand in the bottom right are just a bit distracting. Keep taking pictures, you're doing great.

Very nice shot. Shooting in bright light can be tricky. I would suggest next time moving the model so she is in complete shadow or try using a reflector or fill flash to light her face a little better. You did a great job for just starting!

Hi, Moncee.

Nice picture. I would crop the photo (097 image) just a bit. I see the fingers (at the bottom of the tree) on your subject has been cut off. I'd re-crop the image so it's almost a head shot. A quick touch up on the sharpness feature on your post processing software should remove the slight blur/out of focus...other than my opinions...I say it's a nice picture!

Your second photo (049 image) is nice too! Again, I'd re-crop it a bit so that you don't see her foot/flip-flop...making it a tighter shot - focusing on her face. You might even be able to really crop it tight to her eyes...which is the focal point.

Just my 2 pennies!

Snap away!
