Nice clean bright portrait, use of light here is good, the patterns of shadow on her face enhance the look in my opinion, and the catchlights in her eyes are terrific.
Nicely managed depth of field

Hi Aleksei,
The low sun on Lena is highlighting her red hair beautifully and casting subtle shadows, great DoF and composition. TFS

Hi Aleksei,
I like the pose, the composition of the image, wonderfull expression on the subject face, I also like the position of the hand.

The main problem with this shot is the lighting. The side sun lighting, produce harsh shadow, everywhere in her face, and the front fill flash, was to weak and fail to open thoses shadows. Positionning yourself, with the sun behind you, whould have avoided thoses shadows. Slightly over exposure, and red/magenta cast present, giving that "cold"
aspect to the skin tones. The last part can easily be corrected.

Hello Aleksei.

I love this one. the razing sun light and colors are great. with the small dof, the result is excellent.

Keep the good job, your last portraits are great
