Nice! I like the windy feel to this. Catchlights in the eyes - check. Nice expression - check.
My only critique is that the hand is a distraction and the backlighting is too strong. It looks like there is a spotlight behind her rather than just having some highlighting.
Overall, it's a great shot, just needs a bit of tweaking.
Thanks very much, i'll see if I can lighten the light a bit.
I'd be curious to see that result Chantelle for comparison. For me it's the hand that is the distraction here, the shot didn't need it IMO.
I think the crop is too high on her chest as well. Hope that helps - and I'm really glad to see and help with these types of portraits.

I think she looks wonderful. I see the hand and wonder if it's there to hold the scarf in place? I can't give much critique..I haven't attempted photos like this..but can't wait!
Keep it coming...!

The flying hair is really an eye catcher! It's a very fine shot!
