Michelle is my 13 year old daughter. She's absolutely gorgeous (I'm only a tiny bit biased, truly!), and agreed to pose for me provided I bought her pizza for dinner.
Hi guys! This year I'll be putting up fewer shots, but hopefully improving the quality at the same time. Sort of a 'best of' if you like. This community is terrific in so many ways - I love it even if I don't often comment. The people on here make it a great place to be. I'm also writing a health-related blog - if you're interested, hop on over to http://healthskills.wordpress.com/ and make yourself known!

@Aaron Schmidt: Thank you, it was a real pleasure to work on it! (at least it sat still - she didn't!)
Amazing comp on this, looks to be natural light (absolutely no substitute) 270mm? OMG, what kind of lens are we using? Looking for a good one for my D50…

@Anthony: Hi there Yes, natural light, outside under the tree while it was very bright. Had to correct for the greenish tinge though... The lens is nikkor 70 - 300mm 4-5.6 G lens, would recommend the newer one that's out now with vibration reduction and better optics, but the cost was quite a bit more... and I prefer wide angle, so will save up for a nice 10 - 20 sigma - but will be guided by others more experienced!! Suggestions, recommendations anyone?
Very beautiful image and nice composition ! thank you kind comments in my photoblog :)

I love how one eye is clear and the other out of focus. Michelle! You have a great modeling future ahead of you. My compliments on your lovely eyes!

Excellent

she is a nice girl OK, what happened ti the rest of tha face. This with the full shape of lips and maybe the chin would have been a spectacular photo. The model is there, order some more pitza and try again, kind regards Dimitrios
