Jill

[cosmonaut]

From my last portrait session. I am a newbie in this area and not what I normally do. But this was a favor as she is a friend of my wife. Feel free to critique and thanks. By the way, the feet was her idea and she likes them in.

I like it - a lot.

Pretty woman with a wonderfully happy expression, cute feet, flattering shot! The subdued background makes sense in this image - it could easily overpower, but it doesn't. I would have removed her shoes (or whatever that strappy white and black thing on the right might be) from the composition, however. And maybe placed a bit more light on her face.. but I'm not sure. Overall, this is very nice!

Very nicely done from lighting and posing perspective. Beautiful place for taking photos for sure. However, her left upper arm seems huge. It could be a result of you taking the picture at a close range.

Good picture and nice smile on Jill's face. I'd tone down the swelling--or whatever it is--on the bottom of Jill's feet in photoshop, if you can. I'd also crop out the horizon, unless it's a meaningful place to Jill.

I am learning how to use the Liquify tool in PhotoShop, YouTube it it's amazing, but have yet to thin anyone up. Yes the place is special as her and her boyfriend met here.

hmm... I see nothing unusual. She looks just fine as far as I can tell.
