There's a softness about this that appeals to me and I like the colour of the lighting (sorry don't know what that might be technically - but more yellow than white?}

Nice one kiddo, your on top form again! Love the warm lighting and diffusion, and you've caught her eyes incredibly well. Captivating. Think I'd try a tighter crop at the top, to take away some of that band of darkness and put Alex more in the centre

A lovely portrait which is so cute yet mesmersing with her eye contact (perhaps she will grow up to be a hypnotist!).

It reminds me of some recent wedding photos I took, one of the bridesmaids gave a similar look each time she looked at the camera which was so sweet on one hand but also spooky depending on your viewpoint.

Great portrait! I clicked to view it in the large format and it opened to fill my screen just above her nose. It's a stunning discovery by chance.

Inspirational as ever. The delicacy of the hair coming across the forehead works really well.

It seems to me that the lighting balance is just a little off though with the right being darker than the left.

Cheers

The light was intentionally place to give that effect Jeremy, I've not quite got it right yet as I needed a bit more shade on one side, thank you for your comment its very much appreciated. Smile K.
