Congratulations to friscoron for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 5 votes - View Previous Winners
Her Mom likes to call Kennedy a "flower child," a hippie from the 70s. I just like to take pictures of her.
Comments always welcome.

Really nice….so much to like. Lighting, framing (overhead arm position), colors rendered beautifully. The square crop…ALL working really well. And I haven’t even even touch led the subject yet!
VERY good capture of Kennedy’s spirit I think. Very comfortable, confident without the arrogance or over-confident 'look' of some models. There is a natural beauty captured in this image I think.
Lastly, and strictly within the realm of this old dog’s opinion, your processing for this shot is perfect. Contrast and pop are great, the eyes…wow-a mile deep, and the skin, especially, clean without being too perfect or plastic looking.
I would be one VERY happy senior to have that as my portrait….

Top notch, Ron.
I whine about cut off hands and such a lot. In this shot it just looks right. Same with the cut off hair.

Thanks, Jim! The shot itself is a bit wider than this, but I wanted to crop it in tight so the total focus is on the colors of her blouse and then her beautiful face and those eyes. I usually keep the hands and all the hair in the final composition, but in this case, I felt tighter was better.

Yes, normally I don't like busy blouses like this, with patterns or whatever, but this one totally works, especially using it to frame her face. Thanks!!

Thanks so much! I don't think the eyes are a different color. Pretty confident they're the same.

Thanks so much! That's exactly what we were going for, a very natural beauty look. Girl doesn't even know how gorgeous she is, very sweet girl.

Nicely done Ron. If hands are important to the visual statement then one needs to include them. If not do what needs to be done. I think Ron made the right choice.

Very nice - "eye candy" - The eye PP might be a little over the top in some other clothes/setting, but it works well in this image for competing against the brilliant color of her top! Well done.

I know her eyes are really popping, but it's really just the natural light. I did very little editing to it as it wasn't necessary. Thanks so much!
