it's a little soft, but i like the idea a lot.  the hand seems sharper than the face.  what did you take it with?  best, jamie

Thanks very much Jamie, I think I probably need to do some sharpening, I took it with 50 F1.8 at F2.8 focus points are on the chest, they should of been on the face!!!.

Hi

Nice lighting and detail. I think the focus is fine there is lots of detail in the dress, veil and tiara  which are in the same pane of focus as the face. The rings show up well as does the dress which is important. A few thoughts on details. I find it somewhat contrasty, I might lower it a bit on her face but mostly I find very little detail in the hair. I might smooth out the bitchiness on the forearm and lastly there seems to be a snag in the fabric of her dress just in front of her bracelet and would clone that out. I did a quick edit to show what I mean, just my 2 cents.

Gregory, thanks so much for the great advice and your efforts doing the edit much appreciated.

Rich.

A beautiful and lovely shot, Richard!

thanks Ruud

Kind of dynamic portrait cause she's obviously climbing up the stairs! Nice face and figure in nice outfit and a fine background!

Not used to see your portraits, Richard, as a matter of fact not used to see you since quite a while, ha! Welcome back, my friend and thanks for your recent visit!

Best regards

Shapely, beautiful and very well captured.
