My first attempt at true high key. Comments please...

The high key portrait has a few minor tune recommendations. First crop out the curtain on the left hand side; then knock up the exposure 1.5 stops; then recover the subject's right hand and show all the fingers on both hands; next have the subject turn her face 45 degrees to her left and maybe try tilting the head the other way to see if that is any better. Given the estimated age of the subject less diffusion is required. And cover the bench with a white cloth, so as not to distract attention from the subject.

The cloth draping on the left side of the image is distracting.

 

I personally would crop it, and have the models face further to the left of the frame leaving more space infront of her face. I believe this would make for a more powerful image then having her centred in the frame.

Beatiful picture.
