Angle and composition work quite well for me!

But....it's too warm. She's kind of orange and the grass is a bit muddy. Try cooling it down just a touch.

Great pose, great smile, gorgous model!

There seems to be a yellow cast. Other than that I like the composition. I wonder what it would have looked like if she had kicked off her sandles.

I think the composition is great! Excellent portrait! I have to agree with the color being a little warm, but overall, very nice shot!

I am with everyone on the color. But looks like a great photo other than that.

Thanks everybody. The coloring effect was purposeful. But, I did seem to give the poor girl a bad case of jaundice, didn't I? I'm going to play with it some more and see what I can do with it. I'll post back here when I'm done.

Composition is good and the model is gorgeoous however I keep wondering how different this may have turned out if you had taken the picture more at eye level rather than standing up.

Good capture though.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Arun. Actually, my last post here was of her taken at eye level. It was interesting to see the difference between the two.
