I have to agree with you there. I'm no expert on portraits, but to me, this is an outstanding one. I love the way she is looking down, and her hair is blowing in the breeze a little. If this were not a portrait, I would say that it looks overexposed, but not in this case. It looks like a very effective tool used to create a certain mood. Great work with this, Nick.
I have to agree this is an outstanding shot! Very well taken, very intimate and the softness just adds to this shot. I like the light sepia tones a lot. 10/10!
