First portrait

My first attempt at a portrait for Project 365. She was a wiling participant. It was indoors so getting the color right seemed a challenge. I used her hair as a guide...yes this really is the color - beautiful!

You're so much braver than I - the idea of doing a portrait scares me. I like the lighting and color you got here.

[Susan C Clow]

Nice lighting on her face and great clear close up portrait. Great job.

[Erica G.]

Great job! Indoor lighting is always a challenge but you did great!

[Nova]

Very brave indeed. I agree with Melanie @milaniet its not something I am comfortable with either. I guess I'll have to step outside my comfort zone and try it too. Great job!

Well done Gary, lovely portrait :)

[richard saffold]

Lovely portrait - great lighting

[Francoise]

terrific! A portrait that I would not hesitate to give the poser (that might be a criterion for a decent portrait, but maybe not)

@milaniet Thanks Milanie. This one was easy...she was sitting in my waiting room and her mom works for us. She was quite agreeable. Thanks for viewing my Project and your comments.

@vegansusan Thank you Susan! It helps to have a lovely model.

@yeri87 Thanks Erica. I always have trouble setting the white balance and end up doing a lot of editing of color. Glad this turned out well.

@novab Thanks Nova! Get brave, give it a try! :-0

@hermann Thank you Sally! I appreciate your comments.

@chard Thanks so much Richard.

@constanlysmiling001 Thank you eileen. The lighting was just over head fluorescent. Some post editing helped.

@francoise Very true Francoise and I did share a copy with her as a matter of fact.
