    Hi Dale,

    The looking back pose is excellent on this one and I like the BKGR.

    I am not sure if you could have got any lower and angled the lens up slightly? The long grasses RHS are at the same level as the eye. I think if the head was positioned in front of the clear BKGR it would raise an excellent image another notch. Easier said than done probably !

    I'm sitting any lower and I would have had a bunch of grass in the way.

    I guessed there would be a good reason.

    Best regards,

    Nice look back pose, techs are good. Side light give nice mix of shadows and highlights giving nice depth to image. TFS

    Beautiful side lighting here Dale, great colour, eye contact & BG too. Agree a lower angle would be nice, but would be proud to have this myself as is.

    I like the look back pose, and feel the perspective is spot on.

    lovely portrait ... i like angle as is...

    only suggestions I would make is to do a slight CW rotation and to crop out the dark green at top...

    Great detail, beautiful colour, the only thing missing is a piece of grass in the mouth:o

    Really like the soft Summer light here and all the different shades of green and yellow. Pose and subtle rim light add nice touches as well.
