Two good results, Andrea. Body is posed well in both photos. Lighting is good and also exposure.
Lovely shadow in the second photo!
Now the criticism (you know you can't escape it  )
Head position could use improvement. In first photo, chin pressed against shoulder does create a grimace in the mouth.
In the second photo, head is too low and looks uncomfortably recessed. You should have used something under the head,
or ask her to keep head more behind and also above from ground.
Also in second photo, the foreground arm gets too much importance, a better composition would be to crop just under the shoulder.
But overall you did quite nice

Burstmox, simply delightful closeup portrait, I love it.
Andrea, quite good, I like the choice of blurring the feet, very cleverly done, that's what I would have done also.
Two things I don't like, one of them you can fix:
- I don't like the slant, and this is not fixable because you don't have enough room around the figure to rotate the image.
- the legs have perfect exposure, but the upper part of body and the head are too dark. This causes the attention to focus on the legs and feet which is not ideal
You can fix by selectively dodging the upper body and head until you bring them in the same zone as the legs.

Clicky
This was more an experiment in flash. I used an Industar 50 on my Pentax K10 with a said flash pointing to the left across the image. I was trying to set it as to bounce of the wall some 4, 5m approx from her face, to light up said face. She was busy in her morning ritual of reading everything on facebook (laptop is just off scene down from eyes haha) to care so much that I was bouncing light across her head
I believe f was set to somewhere between 3.5 and 4..

You'll have to take my word that the little girl was precious.

My lovely wife Jolanta.
I think this photo captures her personality.
She doesnt like the sharpness of this photo, its very honest, no makeup or anything. I snapped this as we were going to the local shop.
I used Nikon D3200 with a super Paragon 28mm f2.8. The exposure was guessed and there is no post processing at all apart from resizing it for this fantastic forum.
The lens was bought for £7.50 in OM mount, but I have converted it to fit my Nikons and was giving it a trial run.
The focus is just off the eyes I know, I find it difficult to manual focus with the clear screen on my digital camera. Anyone know of a source of microprism/split screen for the d40/d3100/d3200? I mean for cheap

Thanks Minolfan, it was relaxed, she was hardly aware I was taking it, despite being about 2 feet from her. The ducks on the pond were having an argument with a bullying seagull, this is what she is smiling at. |

I have faffed about trying to get an image up...not sure if this is right...hopefully it needs to be cleared by a moderator and then it will work.
Anyhoo...taken on a nex5 with a rokkor pf58mm f1.4 wide open...not a well accepted lens by many, but I love the warmth and glassy look to it...
Bit soft...but then so is the rest of my life..!

Hi Toby, welcome to the forum. Pictures and links don't show on your first post, this is an anti-spam measure we had to take. You should be OK to post pictures from now on.
Very nice shot, a touch of softness is great for portraits. I love my 1.4/58 Rokkor, but I love my MD 1.4/50 even better!
