Hello everyone.
I have been into landscapes for a long time and now I'm trying portraits (in a more serious fashion that I have done it in the past).
Although I enjoy it a lot I would like to have some constructive feedback.

Thanks a lot.

Hello fellow Torontonian.

I think your work is pretty good. The big issue I have is with composition. Perhaps its a bit center weighted. Otherwise it seems you are off to a good start with your portraiture and your landscape background is certainly coming to your aid.

Cheers!

Parts of it good some parts not so good
The bad:
You have the horizon running through his head [better would be solid water with out the blown out sky]
You have two catch lights in his eyes, most of us live on earth so we are use to seeing only the light of one sun [the fix Photoshop out small catch light] two catch lights in one eye make the viewer think they are out of focus.
Lint on suit by models right armpit
The good:
Exposure of model is good, lots of detail in clothing and models face and hair
Good connection with model and camera



Good connection with camera, good background blur
[My choice would have been vertical]


[For me too much negative space photo left]
Eyes not wide open


Over all excellent capture
[Wish eyes were in sharper focus]


Great pose and location
Wish face color matched upper arm color
Chose pose location so we can see her feet
[Twig photo left a bit of a bother]

Great work, keep on shooting!
