Curious to see what commentary you might have concerning another of my early portraits. How can I improve my portraiture while shooting outside?

Thanks!

I like the concept of this shot and the DoF. The main issue I have though is that I can't see both her eyes and her front. I think this shot would have been better if you had been more to your left. You don't want the models body square with the lens but you don't want her turned too far. Also what time of day were you shooting? The light seems pretty harsh to me (like mid afternoon).

I can definitely see what you're saying. I will consider that the next time I am shooting portraits.

The time was, in fact, mid-afternoon. Some of the lighting is caused by the vignette, however.
