Something very new for me: trying my hand at a little glamor in portraits in a natural environment (because I don't have a studio!) and not losing a touch of innocence and youth. Please give me some feedback if you so wish.
To all you idle people out there not having visited our monthly forum challenge, drop in and get those grey cells working. :D

Very nice, I must find some new models

Wow, what do you need a studio for??? You did the job without! This is beautifully fresh and so polished. Stellar job with the lighting, the composition, the greatly enhanced natural feeling of it and the brilliant postwork.

And now you instantly conquer another photographic genre. A great capture of this young lady's vitality, beauty and charm. The print dress is perfect for the outdoor setting. You are very good at what you do, Piet!

very nice lighting.

Well you have certainly captured her great beauty, and did a good job with the postwork the buff straight line over the right side of the frame is a bit distracting

Gorgeous gal and shot!

Very lovely portrait. While some people like the people and glamour, I'm not as into it, so cannot give you as good of a critique. I prefer you animal shots, but that is me and not your talent. I like the lighting and the softness of this though. Bunny

In my neck of the woods, the sweet innocence of youth disappeared eons ago. Stellar portrait, especially in the lighting and textural effects, of this demure and attractive young lady, Piet!

A beautiful portrait with a wonderful natural look. I think you have succeeded, who needs a studio when you can get this effect.

wonderful portrait, draws u immediately to the face, lovley lighting and subject. The only thing that 'distracts' my eye is where the rope goes around the tree to the right of the photo is a solid light brown patch breaking up the bark, maybe her arm? It is only a little area but does draw my eye away to investigate.
