sr portrait 2

my first try at portraits any ideas?

this is a much better image than your shot with the purple flower by her head, the direct sunlight on her face is still a bit harsh

she is cute...

Its nice, Mark, but ditto on the light. Try evening. The background is good, as is her pose. Can't quite tell how sharp her face is. If you haven't already, make sure to select the Autofocus point that will be over her head before taking the shot to ensure her face is as sharp as possible. The wind blowing her top is good.
