Portrait of my gal

[651stp]

hi again! another portrait of my gal. i love the hair light of this picture, i wish it really didnt spill on the face but its the only shot i took that i really liked from this set. It does have a little bit of chromatic abber. but i tried to remove as much of it as i can without altering anything else. let me know what you guys think!

The composition isn't bad, but the bokeh seems a bit busy. Also it would help if you brought down the highlights in post.

hows this? i turned the highlights down. Also after looking at it, it looked a bit blue to me so i raised the temp a tad bit.

She's lovely, and you've done a good job of showing that! The background is a bit busy, but not too terribly much so...it looks "summery", and so the light on her face seems okay to me.

Pretty girl and she's got a great connection with the viewer, it's hard to look away. But once I was able to take my eyes off her face, the close elbow that is out of focus is a bit of a distraction.

I might (well I certainly would) add a vignette to darken the edges & background.

a little over exposed, maybe its just me. the light looks a lil too hard.

Thanks for the kind words Derrel!

Thanks big guy! your right, i added a vignette and it does look much better, thanks for the tip!

It looks correctly exposed to me, maybe my monitors off though thanks for the cc
