At first glance I wish that you had included her left shoulder. Decent photo. Garment is not super becoming but that is what she wore. T shirt is a T shirt.

Most importantly, a portrait must include a message and what is communicated to the viewer here is the sincerity of the subject and that is probably a sign of who she is - an elegant, well groomed young lady in her daily hang-around clothes. My preference goes to this approach rather than the portrayal of someone as a caricature of who they are. An enjoyable image, bravo.

My' preference'is expressed in my comments. To each his own style. What I do like is the open honest sweet face and I do not want to detract from the positive features you have caught Cherene. I would be pleased to have captured this young lady. ( but I might have STILL made the suggestion anyway re garment. ) I wish you well. Aloha. GS

Cherene. To add a motivation and perhaps clarification if my comment and intent is misread. I love to flatter my female models ( from teen to maturity ). Not glamorize. But I will suggest make up choice and color choice and even some comment on how a piece of jewelry looks. And if a bra string is hanging out...that kind of stuff. Stay warm. Gerry
