Breanna's portrait (C&C plz)

[FranDaMan]

She turned 13 and is a real tweener :er:
We didnt have a reflector yet, so we tried to work with the available light.
Some postprocessing in lightroom and voila !!

Lets hear it from the pro's plz !

Nice image of a nice young lady. I would have taken the light off her hair, because when I look at the photo, my eyes go right to the "bright spot" of light on her hair, rather than to her face, which is where you want people's eyes to go in a portrait, at least I do. I would also have lifted, if that's the word, some of her hair off her left eye so that she does not look like she is hiding behind it. There are a few other nit-picky things I would have done, but I don't know whether this is a cropped image or not. HTH.

Regards,

I would have put her head in the shade and used the sun with a reflector camera left or flash

As I stated in the opening post, we didnt have a reflector yet, nor a decent flash.
Both problems were solved yesterday....we got a 430EXII and a 5 in 1 reflector kit
