Another shot of the fab wee Alix - my friend Gem's 13 year old sister. I could take pics of her all day long. For this I dragged her into an abandoned cottage (proceeded to put my foot through a floorboard and bruise everywhere but kept Alix in the safe bits) She's wearing an old nighty - was going for a darker theme this time. It was rather dark so had to crank the iso up but I like the grain here. As always your advice most welcome, thanks for looking, Rachel

oh yes, incredible shot..love it, old buildings are wonderful at bringing out emotion, strange... but true

The lighting in this is great - just natural light? Great portrait.

Yes just natural light - the ruin has no roof - only some beams but is heavily covered in foliage, and was pretty dark so had to up the iso to 500. Thought a flash would be too harsh, and don't have a reflector. Should really get one... Thanks for the comments everyone - am so glad it's liked *
Love the shot and the effect you are after.
You have most light on the face already,but I would be tempted to add a dark vignette so that there is more emphasis on it.
I would also darken the toenails and thumbnail ....... they look a bit too bright and manicured for the surroundings

Oh wow, this is an awesome capture, well done! And congrats on the HC, so well deservrd!
Thank you so much for the support on this everyone. I found myself overwhelmed and delighted this morning to discover I'd got my first HC, and am especially happy it's on this pic, as I really liked it and Alix is my favourite wee model
This is wonderful portrait, Rachel, just keep photographing her
Fully deserved award, definitely one of my very favourites of yours.
