very very great... the lights and the pose...

Comments and critiques welcome. Thanks! :-)

Amy, Sophia's smiling uplifted face is badly cut off by your cropping. Since most viewers would like to see her pretty face smiling at them, I suggest you needed to be above looking down. This appears you were low to the grass looking up. If you had cropped just below the wrists and included her full head (or most of it) you might have gotten away with this, but I don't think it works as shown.

Great mood and composition ... humble opinion: maybe little less light and more sharpness ... but I am learning so ... :)

I agree with Jerry...kind of. I think a more camera to eye level would be nice, but I think that it is still a terrific shot. I think the softness lends itself to the color and mood. I love your fascination with the square. It really works here. Sweet and peaceful.

Thank you all so much for your comments and advice. I appreciate it greatly. :-)
