I know by technicality this is not a portrait, as it does not show her face,
but no other titles fit. As for the shot, it is one of my personal favorites
and I was wondering what could make it just that much better before I
hang it on my wall. I don't have a foot fetish by the way, just love the
textures of the jeans and the wall.

Hell Yes! Nuff said. You rock girl! -
Wow! Wow! Wow! The beauty of your shots are only outdone by your framing here Linda. Beautiful in every way! -
haha, is he doing the "walk like an egyptian"? His mischievous smile says yea. :) great natural emotion shot Linda! -
Her face says "Oh yeah, thats my man". I love it! -
I'm wondering what aperture you had here cause it lacks the sharpness that most of your photos have. I find when I open my nifty fifty all the way up I get more of the softer shots than I care to mention. Did you notice the sign while doing post production and go "what the heck was I thinking" like I do when I make that mistake? :) I love the look of adoration on his face. -
The expressions make this one a winner! On top of your composition, contrast, and all of the other hidden tricks I know nothing about. :) Great shot with a nice candid feel to it. -
If this one is not hanging on their wall at home yell at them for me. :) This is just beautiful in every way. Black and white really make it pop. LOVE IT!! -
Perfect, absolutely perfect DOF use Linda. Perfect crop as well. -
Hi Linda. I love what you did with the block style texture in this shot. I really like the obvious concentration on their faces as well. Really cute. So many people shoot the same old shot on the tracks but you made something new here. Great job! -
Well I see now where your daughter gets those "big browns" from:) Very nice self-portrait Linda. Makes it easier when the model is a looker doesn't it, cheater. I love your framing and your lighting here. I don't have a studio (yet) and can't begin to imagine how hard it's gonna be to get the whole lighting thing down but your shot tells me here you know what your doing. I know it has everything to do with what you were going for so I would ask you, what do you think of this photo. Is there anything you like or dislike? If I managed this shot I would certainly be proud. Great shot!

Hello again Linda. Like the rest of your work, I love this capture. If you look at my work you will clearly see that you should take true critique I give with a grain of salt. The only issues I see that I would like to see changed are the difference in brightness between the two eyes and the fact that there the second "catch light" in the right eye (left for the viewer) is really hard to make out. I like that she doesn't appear to be looking into the camera, it adds some mystery for me. Did you add a post production vignette or is that in camera? Keep em coming kid!

Hey Linda. Want to thank you up front for taking the time to look at my "Erin" photo along with your advice. As for your photo here I must first compliment you for creating a beautiful young model:) I love the sharpness and detail in her hair and eyes, especially when combined with your DOF. I actually prefer the look of the hair in the eye, as it is natural. If definitely adds to the overall flavor of the pic. The only think that doesn't agree with me is the difference in color from the upper right and upper left. The difference tends to draw my eye to it. Overall lovely shot though Linda, I'm sure your daughter loves it.

I personally would vote to leave it in. I agree with Michael that it would look static with any removal of the branching shown on the left. As it is you don't get the feeling that you are missing much of the actual size of the bolt. If you cropped it the viewer would have to imagine where it stopped and left feeling like part of the picture is missing.... Just my opinion.

Some might write off this statement with the fact that I am a rookie, but I think this might be the overall most beautiful picture I have ever seen Samuel. The bank on the left gives great dof, the uneven streaks of light on the water do not steal any of the viewers attention, and as cold as it must have been, I am jealous that I didn't get to experience what the picture shows. Unbelievable Shot!!!!!!

This is a shot from a recent photo shoot and it is one of my all time
personal favorites. I would love to know what the pro's like or don't like
about it and how I could have improved on it...
