Olga, just looked over your portraits section. Looks a lot better than I would expect for most beginners! ;-) Congratulations.

On this portrait I might try a tighter crop on her face. The hood's zipper does nothing and I think you could pull the fur to top of image without a problem. On my LCD monitor the face is pretty much washed out, not necessarily a problem if you were going for a high-key effect. The loss of detail in the hand is a problem I think as it tends to fight with her face for attention. Hope this helps!

Thanks William,

I've been to a studio may be 10 times now. And as it's a hobby for me, it's mainly home study. For some reason I can't get proper skin tones/textures. I guess it's mainly due to harsh light? Do you have any suggestions? Lights further away from the model, less power or?

Thanks
