Lovely portrait, lighting and composition. The model has a very relaxed look on her face which adds to the calmness.

Was the intention to have a slightly sparser spread of leaves?

I'm not a fan of the crop. : )

I'm thinking that, with a different crop, this pic might have been, well, more...  Or maybe you just need a wider lens.

I actually wanted a somewhat tight. Originally, this was wider because I shot this from a 2nd story balcony and the 75mm did not reach far enough. The original format was 3:2 and I changed it to 16:10.

Same goes with the other 3 seasons.

Very nice demonstration of the setup!  Apologies for being too subtle with the humor in my post -- it wasn't a criticism of your composition, but rather...  Well, let's just say "Well done!" and forego my explanation.

That's like the best name, ever!  My understanding is that only the most handsome and intelligent people bear that name.

That seems a strange place to steup ... but thanks for posting it!

It's at the office park complex where I work, which is blogging for SLRLounge.com

Easy to roll gear, no worries about getting kicked out, and can go in and out for prop prep, hair, and makeup, etc.

I'm hoping to get the other three seasons out throughout the next several weeks, too

I really like the shot -- well done.

And that's one hell of an extension cord!

Illumination is good. Liked the setup. Good picture.

Stunning beauty photoshopped to death?

Nice! On second though I doubted this was a shop window dummy. There certainly are portraits around that are photoshoopped to a point where individual features are no more recognizable.

So in theory your next photoshoot could involve dangling her off the side of the building on a rope ...

Just giving you new ideas Joe.
