Bill,
Environmental, natural light, portraits is my specialty so your image caught my eye! Considering you are not out there at the best time of day you handled this well--I know my wife would say you should have goboed the left side (her right arm) to block that blown-out highlight, but then you may not work with an assistant as I always do (my wife!).
The only other issue, just a pet peeve of mine, since I do a LOT of these split-rail fence shots, is that I NEVER do the fence set-up without showing a least ONE FENCE POST. That way you don't have this, floating in the air, rail cuttting your frame in half!!
Oh, since you are in my home town area, there in San Jose, I looked-up your website. I saw some nice work!!
Did you photograph those gals in the bamboo area at the Japanses Hakone Gardens in Saratoga?
My wife and I lived and worked in Silicon Valley for over 55-years--operated our photography business there for 20+years (Ran our studio in downtown Saratoga for 14 of those years)--so we really know the area.
So, if you would like some tips on outdoor locations--the when, where, how, permits, etc.--email us!!
