Outdoor Portrait

We had some nice weather today, so I opted for an outdoor portrait.

Nice! Sharp, and color is good. My one real issue is that one branch camera right that is so obvious, since it is sidelit. Clone that out... it would improve the shot.

I like it. It's got a nice feel to it.

FWIW, the branch helps the shot IMHO.

I like it better with the branch cloned out. It's the brightest part of the background and is distracting IMO.

Great, appreciate it! I was wondering about that branch, so I am glad you pointed it out! Thank you.

Hi tex, thank you for taking the time. I don't know about the branch, though. I think it may be a little distracting.

Yes, I think you are right! Appreciate you chiming in.

Nice shot. I agree that without that branch it is a better image.

Charlie always hits it with an uber-simple CC solution that drastically changes the quality of pics

It's a Fine Arts kind of thing. Gives a technically good, but otherwise bland image a little visual attitude.
