    Just about perfect. Something for the cover of a book of images. She is a natural as well.

    A splendid assortment. Hearing one nature photographer tell of his work, person often risks life to get close enough or high enough. Thanks for the link, Sandy. I like the variety and color a lot.

    Models should get a chance to relax. The window light is very pleasing. Only thing is that at my age this display of feminine loveliness does get my pulse up a bit. Seriously, enjoyable casual item as part of a shoot. I am assuming the anatomy was complete, if I may be so bold. Nice though.

    I would normally suggest trying for more illumination on her face and hair,but given her wonderful facial bones and profile, this one just works. You have a sublime touch with the female. Enjoyable portrait.

    A different kind of pose. Catches attention in a pleasing and provocative way.. nice.

    Simple and relaxing. Sometimes static is welcome. Even a horizon in middle. I like it.

    <Sort of cold and flat.> Except when it is warm and contoured. Easy to demonstrate in a quick review of galleries here. And not so hard to master. Susan McMaster shows how with those dinky and dirt cheap but peppy old thyristor Vivitars in her book " Mastering Flash Photography." https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Flash-Photography-Advanced-Techniques/dp/0817445455/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1511740494&sr=1-1&keywords=Mastering+Flash+Photography.......Auto flash is fine. It works as well or better than TTL and the variants. Use the tools that professionals use. Bring your photos to life when nature needs a helping hand. Ever watch a commercial photo shoot. Those guys with the reflectors and the lights and light stands. Of course they have a pre conceived result in mind. Sunlight often needs a little help. it is a revelation what a hunk of fomecore can do. Or a flash shot through an umbrella or brolly can do to cut five years to a subject's age. I am prejudiced. I like control. A control freak. I could use a team of gaffers. Just kidding.. But I like to get the dyamic range in the image and not play to much in Photoshop if it looks right in the finder and the histogram. That may take more than an overall ISO boost.( I like to stay at 400 most of the time, good enough for me and a challenge I like).:)

    i learned that I really have a lot of subjects that I just forgot about on my hard drive and discovered in mutiple versions. And a lot that I kind of know I photographed over many years that still are likely in little yellow boxes. And I may not get around to them. And that does not bother me. And so many subjects that never drew me on and still don't. And yes, Louis Triguez's indefatigable participation as well. Hail, Louis. I do not even worry If I post two images by error and not sweat it too much anymore but I may try the fixes described again. I am easy in an easy does it place. It is relaxing. About photos. Good.

    The GX 7 is a great all around good value camera. Has most of the goodies. If one finds a good used one it still is most desirable. I have own, and would not part with it. With the 20mm 1.7 it is eminently modest in size and does a fine job. So I agree with Brian. My choice to go with four thirds and micro four thirds is one I have no quarrel with. But sometimes I can lust in my heart for the latest and greatest. But no hurry. Never a first adopter.

    A lovely model. My impression of the lighting is that it could be more contoured, that is less flat and more directional from a main source ... Separation from background tonality would also be nice and that might take some more playing with illumination or distances or color of bgrnd. Perhaps meter bacground couple stops lower in this case... I( I bet it also shows well in color for her hair and tonality would not dissapear same way even as a high key study...aloha, gs

    I like the expression. Your skin color processing looks heavy on the yellow green, though that may be your choice. I would try to go for a more neutral flesh tone if it were my image. I wish you well.
