Wonderful portrait Bill, great tones #1518474

A beautiful girl - so pretty and natural looking. The western shirt (or at least plaid LOL) and hat suit her well. Great light and clarity in this portrait. Did you use a reflector to get such wonderful light on her face under that brim? #10603730

Thanks Claudia and Nikki
Nikki, when someone is wearing a hat like this that shades the face, I set a flash unit on the ground about 4 to 6 feet away at half power.
Usually, that works, or at least is a good place to start making adjustments.
This young lady is a true cowgirl.
I'll attach a photo of her and one of her horses. #10603741

Well, I'll tell you, Bill, that's a cowgirl who would make the cowboys' heads turn around real fast. It's a beautifully natural portrait. She looks like someone we'd love to meet. #10603953
