I love this shot. I immediately saw the horison in its eyes and found that quite nice! Well done!

[Karl Egressy]

Great portrait shot but the composition should be vertical, with more canvas at the top.
It would make a more powerful image.

[Marina Scarr]

Stunning portrait with gorgeous light and details. I agree it needs more space up top and looks a tad oversharpened to my eyes.

[Raybel Robles]

Superb shot!. But I do agree with Marina that it is a bit over sharpened.

What a great portrait.
Love how close you were able to get to her.
I quite like your comp but can see it as a vertical.
Agree about the sharpening.
Killer light!

As Suggested by all the members , I am posting the vertical crop image with more space on the top and i also agree to the suggestion that its bit over sharp, so i reduce the sharpness little bit in this image ............ Thanks for all valuable comments keep it coming its helps a lot to me as beginner.
