The only other thing i could say is that she's not looking at the camera. I love lots and lots of shots where the subject is not looking at the camera, but not this shot. It would have been that much better if you could have gotten good eye contact.<br /><br />My advice for a different persective would be to get right up againt that fence - put your right shoulder on the fence - point the camera right at her eye level and shoot.jamielaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717787172760508693noreply@blogger.com
