Great focus on the eyes and a lovely smile. I think maybe a lower shooting angle may have been better as you would have been at eye level, but then again, maybe not.
Martin; Lighting is a window about 14 or 16 foot to camera right.
NFL; I think her face shows all the traits of the “little girl from the country” ….. which she is incidentally
Orla; Blur is from the Lens. It was shot in in relatively low light at F2.5 1/125sec ISO 160. The lens is fantastic in low light – it’s the canon 85MM F1.2L. You need to be very careful though when using it at anything below F2.5 as the DOF is minimal.
Miki G; The room that she was in was very cluttered so I actually stood on a chair looking down at her so the floor was the background. I thought it complimented her colors and led her to open her eyes a bit more.
Thank you all once again for commenting, I appreciate it.
