Abbie

I like this...great job using a simple setup to create an appealing image...the Parasol does a nice job screening out the harsh sun and possible distracting background...the stone statue adds character but I must admit that the big stone hand draws my attention away from you model somewhat.  I think the framing is good though maybe open it up slightly on the right...nice pose and expression.  Overall a nice capture.

Madeleine,

Abbie is certainly a cutie. She has a very nice expression. You have focused well on her eyes. The parasol makes a good prop. The ribs provide nice leading lines to her head. The contrast and color saturation is good. I like the composition. She is nicely separated from the background.

I have to agree with J. The stone statue is a little overpowering.

I don't mind the color shift on her face caused by the parasol, but I don't like her gray right arm caused from her gray top (I assume). 

If she was standing a little straighter she would have all the wrinkles in her top -- at her left side.

Her bra is showing above her right breast. It is showing just a bit. but it should be removed.

It would be better if you had her turn at a bit of an angle to the camera -- towards the statue. Your subject will appear thinner and more feminine, graceful and elegant if turned at an angle to the camera. The lines you see from an angle have more apparent motion, interest and grace. Posing your subject straight on to the camera can make the area from her shoulder to shoulder appear overly wide.

It wouldn't hurt to slightly increase the exposure, lighten the shadows and make her catchlights a bit more distinct. 

Nice shot,

Mark
