Just an addition to my port. Please comment and give constructive

critique for my improvement. Thank you...Brent

Hi Brent. A lovely portrait. I like the soft even lighting and the tack sharp focus on the eyes. That I find is the most important thing in portrait photography. If I could add 2 small points, I might have a small fill flash off the her right to give some lighting to her hair. Otherwise it fades in with the background, and I might also take this in portrait, instead of landscape, and show a little more of the body instead of the black background. Overall a great portrait. I was really attracted to it. Congratulations.

Lovely model, I like the red backlight filling in her hair and add a coulr to the black background.

Great work.

I would like to wish you a merry x-mas and ahappy new year!

Best regards Tore

Benjamin I would like to have separated the hair from the background more and that is why I was experimenting with the different colors of back light to see how it all turned out.  I learned that it is hard to separate black hair from a black backdrop with any light, but red worked well.  Blue and other colors not so much.  Thanks you so much for your comments, I really do appreciate them all and look forward to all of your future critiques.

Tore, thank you so much for your comments and critiques for the past few years.  Seeing your images and getting your input has helped me to become a much better photog. I hope I have helped you in some way also.  It is great to have a professional relationship with such a great tog as yourself and be able to help each other improve with professional comments and the understanding that we are not attacking the person, but simply trying to help.  I really appreciate all of your input and look forward to many more of your images.  I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from me and my family in Arkansas.
