Lets start by saying I really like this shot! Its a great perspective that shows her in an interesting way but yet the attention is on her face. Her look and expression is relaxed and she is just a beautiful girl! You captured it well.
The only critique I have is the tones and the framing. The tones are a little flat, There are no real black areas here. At the same time the bright lines are already washed out. Its not bad as her face is exposed very nice which is the most important thing. I guess its partly because of the developer or maybe the scanner wasn't that good. I got similar tones when my developing time was too short. I got better results when I cooled the developer down to get roughly 10 mintues. You should avoid 5 minutes or shorter.
the framing and composition is very nice and creative, I just wish it was a little wider so her feet would be in frame . The thing I love about medium format is you can frame wider without loosing the intens feeling and attention on the main subject.
Sheila, I have decided to leave this site so I won't be around any more. If you want, send me an email and I'll let you know where I'm at.

Our class was over last week. I was only able to attend three of the five of them...bummer...but they were good. We are taking two Photoshop classes the next two Mondays. I am really looking forward to that! Kathy

Thanks Kathy! Working in the dark room is so much fun. You get to control the brightness, contrast and tones all yourself. I only wish that the class was going to last a little bit longer. I only have one week left. How's your class going, by the way?

Another very beautiful portrait Sheila. You have captured the subject's face and hair perfectly; the dof is fantastic; the tones are breathtaking and the pose is so relaxed. An excellent composition, well done to you...Best wishes..Ray

Very nice Sheila. I love the angle and perspective here. Your focus is really good and she definitely has that "dreamy" look!
