Thanks Pierre and Ruud.

A beautifully exposed portrait, absolutely wonderful color captured in the sunset and the lighting on the subject is well done. When I saw the thumb pic of this I had to look at the photo, it grabs at you as a viewer and is pleasant to look at.

About the only suggestion that I would make as a viewer is to move her up more in the photo so that her feet aren't so close to the bottom edge, it feels crowded to me. Also I am not sure how I feel about her partially obscuring the setting sun. If she were to completely obscure it I feel that something would be lost. Then again if you repositioned so that there was more separation would it compete to much?

Thanks Joseph, actually you echoed my feelings during the shoot ... sometimes poses and expressions go away pretty quick, I was at the limit of my zoom (as wide as I could go) and I could not step away from my lightstand for fear it would fall over and I wanted to grab the shot as quick as I could so it ended up too tight for me and I knew it but the other shots in the sequence were not as good as this one.
