Nice portrait shot, the hair flowing, the smile is great... definitely time for a new version to see if all the smiles are still this wide...

Great portrait shot, exactly as it suppose to be! Excellent smile, crystal sharp eyes, leaned head with hair on the side... Great compositon with eyes and lips on left (upper and lower) thirds! Great, reminds me of my best portrait, this photo is really something I will do the same manner. I am glad to see someone with similar technique :))

Great job, regards
Robert

Very nice portrait, Tom! Very good use of the ambient light and an excellent composition. I particularly like the close crop and the small tilt in her pose. A lovely portrait of a lovely lady!

What a beautiful smile from a beautiful lady in a beautiful portrait, ToM. Nice composition with great light and nice work on the PP treatment. I really like the wind in her hair which gives this portrait a very natural feel. Well done!

yes, the smile from the West Side Story - no make up, no styling, no flashes, no games. Just joyous eyes, ice-meting smile and hair to dream on...

Don't take it pls as a spoiler, but I would have loved to see a bit more of her shoulders, as that would have added to sensuality of the shot.

Its your first and its super. Packed with lovely positive emotions.

ComplimentS!

Hey ToM, lovely girl, and super portrait of her. At 17 she looks so happy and carefree, and I love her 'irresistible smile!!!' (quoting Marco) Good job, especially for your first portrait.

Hi Tom!
Son sourrire .. nous laisse bouche-bé! C'est un excellent portrait, une bonne définition, une excellente mise au point .. Un photo qui, lorsqu'on la regarde, on ne peut s'empecher de sourrire également! Une belle dédicace, et le choix du N&B, sans aucun doute le meilleur!
Félicitations!

I guess I haven't left a note? But this shot has been among my favorites for some time, so there... And I have just moved it to my "Portraits to learn From" theme. You should know why. :)

Learning points: (1) Grain can be reeeeaaallllly beautiful. (2) Nothing like a full genuine smile. (3) Unruly hair rulez. :)
