Thank you, Frank!
She was definitely a cute little young lady. She and her mother both
seem pleased with the photos I got, and her mother informed me that she
definitely wants me to do her fall portraits later this year.
Looks like the crop is the biggest flaw in the image -- though the lack
of softness in the grass is something I wish I'd picked up on before, as
well. So, the shot still needs a bit of work, but I do like the mood I
was able to capture.
As for your birds, bikes, beasts and blokes, I like the work you're
doing and if you're enjoying it, that's the important thing. And I
suspect if you really wanted to do shots of pretty girls, you could
probably arrange it in fairly short order. :)
Thanks again. I do appreciate the input.

1) You are my hero. I'm taking bird, bike, beast and bloke photos (and not
"bird" in the English slang sense) and here you are hanging around with
beautiful young women taking beautiful photos.
2) Like this a lot. Yeah, seeing her eyes would be nice, but that would be a different
photo (yes, there's frank stating the obvious again). My point is, this works and creates
(or should I say "captures") great mood. Pose, outfit, background, light all
work together here.
I ~might~ crop just a bit off the left. That space does nothing and getting her a bit
more off-centre would make things even more interesting imho. Peel just a bit (equal
amounts to maintain the "north/south" balance you have now) off the top and
bottom so you keep the same frame dimensions you have now.
I think that might be effective, but hell, it's a wonderful photo as is.
Cheers,
frank

Here's a shot from a session I picked up through the mother of the girl
I photographed earlier in the week.

I think that's my favorite of the bunch. I'll be selecting my other
favorites for posting on flickr over the next few days rather than
inflict the full set on everyone before I've had the chance to cull the
weakest ones.
