Hi Silke

Wow! You & Linda have been like twins, the past few days, when uploading. Oh, about the shot... Effective tight framing in this superb portrait, with good colour & sharpness, & the angled, downward pov works well here. Tfs!

I like this one Silke. She is, very beautiful.

Nice even tones and an excellent use of Flash in Daylight. Something I want to learn to soon master. Thanks for sharing,

Hi Silke
I must say you are spot on with the skin tones, sparkle on her hair and color of eyes, lips and teeth. You fill flash almost totally avoided any shadow.
Maybe a bit of a crop to eliminate some more of the shadow/child's head in the lower left had corner. Just a personal thing.

Hi Silke,

I really like close crops like this of people. She has a lovely smile and her dark hair forms a perfect natural frame for her face.

Wise to use the fill flash. It looks great.
