Hi Paul
These are both stunning portraits of Melissa.

I find her hand in the first one a little broad and straight on to camera which I don't find as elegant as the slim edge of a hand. I find my eye drawn to it now that I've seen it. In both images maybe you could have got her to put her hair behind the ears, it looks slightly messy. Nevertheless excellent work of a standard I aspire to reach :-]

Thanks for taking time to comment, Pauline.

Yes, you're right on both counts. The hand could have been better placed and I should have fixed the hair. :D

Paul, love them, all comments as above, however, I don't tidy the hair up on my shots as much as others may, so, hair-wise, I'm ok with that.
Lovely shots.

Thank-you Philip. Bless you.

I do sometimes tidy up stray hairs, but here the hair is over her ear so would have been difficult.

Being honest, it doesn't bother me one jot, but I could have avoided it with more care at the capture stage.
