Default Out of my Comfort Zone

Hello everyone, this is Gina Marie, my daughter, I don't usually do portraits or even share family photos, but I feel very comfortable in this case, as I think this is a decent portrait. What do you all think.

Great Job Michael! She's a lovely young lady and your Portrait captures her very well!
I'm not comfortable shooting portraits, but hopefully that will change in time.
Thanks for sharing this
Michael.

Michael, this is far too lovely to be called just "decent". It's a wonderful image, very beautiful

I like the angle of her head. Now if she turned her face toward the camera and gave a sly or half smile... For my money, that's outa the park! But that's just me.
