Linda, Mischa and Mark,

Thank you all for the honest feedback. "lighting, lighting, lighting, and design, design ,design" are now posted in my studio.

Linda- Thanks for pointing out my overlooking the first rule in Portraiture...please the subject.

Mischa- welcome to the forum and thank you for taking the time to jump in. The flowers and right hand do take away more than they add.

Mark- I like your instincts on this one. You hit it right on the money. The brightest part should be the face and not the flowers.

I hope others were able to learn from this as well. Thanks again!
