I like the sympathetic face and the skillfully made mixture of sunlight and shadows! Beautiful tones!

Hello Frederick:

This is a beautiful portrait of a beautiful young lady. I like her position in the frame and the contrast-not too stark and not too soft.

Just wondering about the shadow on her face on her left. Sun appears to be reaching through her hair creating some brighter lines. It's a shame we can't see this in a larger format here on PN, but, at this size, it looks like there is blotchiness on her skin rather than shadows. Have you considered smoothing the tones out on the left side of her face?

Regards, John

Nice balance in the B&W work, she has a nice expression too.

Best regards Tore
