model photo's portrait before a night out

This kind of perspective is often interesting. In this particular image I think it would have been better to pull down the power on the fill-flash. The lighting looks a bit unnatural.

Fill flash is a little bright. Was it off camera? Anyway, you should be proud to have greenspun comment on your photo.

Thank you very much for your comments especialy yours Mr. Greenspun. I do Have one without flash. I thought the flash got rid off shadows around the eyes and brighten's up the face. What do you think?

reposted to try to get more input on this photo. Would like comments

and ratings to try to get better!

the fill flash is a bit overblown. Have her unlock her left knee - overall she's a bit self conscious. I hate the background, but I like the angle/perspective. the title is "before a night out" so I imagine your mind saw beauty and wanted to document it- which is what comes across. Unfortunately, the snapshot style doesn't add to the subject, but rather detracts. I'd like to see you spend a few hours with her dressed up and considering how to translate the outfit/attitude into an image with impact that focuses the impulse you felt to press the shutter. Keep shooting.
