About This is my friend, Veronica. She is stunningly beautiful and has been wanting me to do some photos of her for a while now. I always tell her we have to start early so we can use natural light because I do not have any equipment and I HATE using a flash. Well... we weren't able to get things going until just after the sunset, I ended up having to use the flash here, so the lighting is kinda harsh and not so great. I really like the composition of this shot, though. Hopefully next time we will have better lighting conditions.

You did a great job here IMHO... Flash is not that harsh and blends well with ambient background. Stunning beauties do not have to wake up early thanks to photogs like yourself;)

Very nice Melanie.
Great combination of flash and ambient light and cool use of the frame. I'm sure Veronica was more than happy with the results.

Melanie, good shooting. Create a diffuser out of some opaque material for your flash. That will help soften the light and give you more of what I think you are looking for. She doesn't need a lot of help as she is stunningly beautiful...you just have to find creative ways to portray that beauty. You did well here. Framing and exposure are just part of the overal picture (pun intended) Luke

Hai fatto un gran lavoro, anche con la luce del flash: ne hai addolcito le luci.
Bella l'inquadratura e lo sfondo del cielo che fa risaltare ancora di pił Veronica

I think this is a fine shot, I like the way you've composed this with your friend well to one side of the frame. The band of colour between the light and dark works quite well in this case too, I think. Well done.

Beautiful! I don't find the lighting to be harsh at all. The match of color in the makeup and the sky is subtle and very effective here.

I think the combination of the ambient light and the flas is perfect...Great protrait, very well done.

I hate using flash too if I can help it but it looks like it was just the right tone here in this pic. Nice work Melanie! I am doing more portriat and fashion work these days and was looking at Usefilm tonight for inspiration and love the one you did called starry eyed surprise. DO you post your work on Flickr yet? Check out some of my pics there at: http://flickr.com/photos/lslphoto/sets/
