Lovely, one can almost feel the wind in the hair.
With kind regards,

Smart portrait. Only a bit correction of tilting in skyline.(IMHO)

A beautiful portrait and a beautiful girl, i like the wind in her hair, she reminds me of an Irish Colleen.

Holly? That's not Timbo's muse is it?
Anyway, nice shot, wistful.

Thanks everyone. A rare portrait from me. Glad you like it.

Yes, I was very fortunate to get hold of it, Larry. It's much smaller than the dead Tamron, a bit wider at one end and shorter at the long end. I've only had it a few days but very much like it.

It is, Sam. Lovely girl and highly photogenic, as you can see.
Best wishes,

Andrew

What a natural portrait of a professional model! Where did you meet her, Andrew?

Thanks Paul and Nezih, Tim (timbo) wanted to know of good sites in Somerset as he was delivering his ARPS portfolio to the Society in Bath. He had Holly (a favourite model of his) with him and I accompanied them one morning and took a couple of informal portraits before he started shooting. I was very pleased with the results as it's not really my sort of thing.

I only wish it were!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Superb Andrew, great result considering this was taken 'ad-hoc'.

Nice composition, lovely natural colours, perfect lights. I also like its landscape format.
This is a well taken portrait.

A lovely pose, reminiscent of a pre-Raphaelite portrait.

Best wishes,
