I don't know if I should put this here or in figurative. But it's a 2 hour 30 min pose so I'll put it here.
Critiques or pointers welcome.

Brenda - this is just beautiful!! The way the light crosses her face and dress and the shadows are great. Really impressive.

I agree! The light on this one is great, very dramatic.

The only suggestion I have is to bring the background into the area behind her that you have left blank. That would help the shadows on the head area recede and bring out the light areas on her shoulderblades.

I love the feel and the bright color.

Thanks, Patti!
Thanks, Lacey. Yes, I do believe that continuing the background in that corner would help. Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't see it til you said something!
