Miss Pat

I have volunteered to do portraits at a nursing home/assisted living facility. Aside from the delight of being with some lovely, lovely people, it is giving models so I can do more with portraits. And I've been spending the last week or so learning how to edit in PS...That's how my "photography" time has been spent lately.

Each person is given a choice of several images and will be given a framed 8x10 of their favorite.

hints/tips/suggestions ...all welcome

A very nice touch of mystery and very much like the tight crop.

What a great gesture on your part...I'm sure they will all love their personalized portrait shots. Great start with this closeup...nice clarity

Nice portrait of her. I would back up a little. You often lose some margin when printing 8x10's, so allow for that.

@danette Thanks for the advice...all this portrait stuff is new and experimental for me!

@seattlite @joysabin Thanks for good words and encouragement. I feel like a fish out of water doing portraits!

Beautiful portrait.
