Comment from Linda Bickston
I really like the way you have placed the lights and the shadows. Especially, highlighting just the right side of her face. This adds so much dimension to your photo, and the backlighting is an excellent idea. You didn't backlight her whole image, just on the right. I think this is beautiful.

An excellent portrait. Good light, clarity and sharpness, like nice exposure, texture and very nice details. Love the facial expression and the natural gesture, like good frame and nice background. Well done
Mara.

A lovely portrait. I love the way you've captured the sparks in her eyes. Great focus and lighting, and strong technical skills. Well captured and is a great entry.

What a nice, soft photograph of a lovely young woman. The lighting is a bit different... but certainly not distracting. I really like the shine on her lips. Nice work mom!

This is an extremely good portrait off your beautiful daughter. The Sepia effect works perfect with this shot; and the back light just ads to the happy feeling.

Marianne is a beauty and what a smile. Gorgeous. Here you have muster with the vignette the whole left side of her hair plus her gentle hands placed under her chin. It makes the picture a bit out of balance for me but in no way does it effect her compelling attractive smile.
