Since injuring my back. I am unable to get out and take photos of landscapes and wildlife. So I have taken an interest in portraiture. Any tips. Advice or comments on how to improve are welcome. Ewa has kindly offered to be my model while on this learning curve. These were taken with the K3 and the Tamron 18/200. I hope to purchase a more professional lens soon.

Regards Ian

Is this a crop and mirror image of the original? I prefer the first also. More space and context and small things like the arm leaning on her leg and then holding her head up is missed in the crop and it makes it look awkward.
Yes, It's a tight crop with a change of background.
