Hi Mary,

Just a thought for your next portrait - keep the overall temperature sense in shadow and light identifiable. Although both shadow and light have temperature variations, you want to maintain a sense of differential.

This photo set-up is one you should continue experimenting with - the combination of indirect light, cool sky and snow give you the opportunity to underscore cool notes in the light, compared to the warm shadows (as in the the back of her neck). Also, you want the flesh- against-flesh areas (nostrils, eye corners, inner ears, skin creases) to read as warm, regardless of the light temperature.

You might want to shoot more photos in this location - and certainly feel free to post in photo resource critique if you would like.
