I like that image very much, Brian! The translucent brim of the hat casts a soft and beautiful light on her eyes/face, accentuating her lovely eyes. Your model is a lovely young lady, I may add.
Really great lighting and use of colors. I just wish the entire hat was in the shot. I would also consider removing the dark spot inside of the bokeh to the right of her face.
Thank you Joshua. I don't post much, and I am not sure why I decided to post this one. With this said, I appreciate your comments.
Daniel, thank you as well. I have another shot with the entire hat in the photo, but I actually prefer this one with it cropped...obviously, a personal preference, and I appreciate your perspective. I see what you are saying about the bokeh. This would be an improvement.
After I posted it, I noticed that I didn't like her lips either. I hadn't noticed them, but they are a bit chapped. I normally don't shoot people this young. I was just amazed looking at how perfect her face is at 100%. There was nothing to do. I wouldn't have this problem with a self portrait.
