is this picture good enough for a portfolio? I would like to make a

photobook for ger. Its a great challange for me. Any comments is

appreciated...

She certainly has a lovely youthful look. I would crop the shot a bit more on the left hand side. Bring it in tighter on her face.

 

Good luck.

it is already cropped a bit, but I will crop it a bit more...

I wonder what light did you use in the foreground. I agree with Warren about the crop idea.

Petteri's so called "finn-bounce" Its basically a cartboard with aluminum foil wrapped around it, bent in half at 45 degrees and stuck in fron to f 10D's internal flash. Bounced back at the sidewall.

 

Poor mans softbox :) No external flash was used...

If you DO crop the left side I wound not remove more than 50 pixels (this particular copy is 667 pixels wide). The idea of "tight on the face" could easily destroy the --beautiful-- effect of the hair. I love textures. Here you have the contrast of the texture between skin, hair and the material at bottom right. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to lose up to 50 pixels, but no more. I know that a lot of glamour shots zero in on the face and people think that way. But you have done very well here, IMO.
