This series was a first deliberate attempt at portraits. My sister is the subject. A week before she moved away from home. She was kind enough to allow me to use her for a practice session.
Martin, Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I really appreciate the assistance. To your point of focus, the original neg & print seem to be in acceptable focus. Perhaps I messed something up when scanning the first time (???) or scanned the print on the flatbed rather than scanning the neg. I've attached another - for you to take a look at if you choose.
You appear to have a good creative eye. I might note though that it is not in focus, and is a little underexposed. It looks like natural light, so I wonder what part of the image you exposed for. I suspect her cheek in the light. Looking closely again, I think the best solution might be a reflector. The pose and expression are both excellent, as is your perspective. Shyfox
