A few portraits

[CherylL4]

I haven't had my camera out much this summer/fall for portraits. My niece was in town over the summer and wanted a session. A friend's daughter posed for me this week. I had a few family events, the usual birthday, sports and homecoming. A friend wanted group shots at her event at high noon outside the courthouse. I was able to find a slice of shade for that one. Other than those my cameras have been gathering dust.

Nice chunks of turq she's wearing. Can't let my wife see those, if she does she will make me take another trip to AZ. lol

Nice shots BTW.

Nice work.
I feel that the first and last one might be a tad over-exposed. If you were to reduce the exposure on the first one and the last one I think it would add some nice depth/shape to them. In that first shot in particular I think her legs get lost against the similarly toned bridge, but bringing the exposure down slightly could help with that.

She wanted to showcase her jewelry. Her last session 2 years ago I didn't have any ideas. This time I saw the branches on one of my walks and thought of her.

Thanks for your feedback! I see now that she blends into the bridge. I did a re-edit on the last one. I knew this was "off", but couldn't think what was wrong. The yellow in the BG was throwing me off.
