Hi everyone - I was blessed on this day with nice soft natural lighting , a white wall to bounce it and a cute model. What do you think?

Fab shot.

Nailed the exposure, cute kid, nice background blur, good BW conversion, catchlights in the eyes.

Nuff said.

Thanks for the compliments peri. How's life in the UK? Are you missing SA yet?

Haha, well spring seems to have finally started.

But no not really. 3 months a year in SA is plenty for me thx.

Excellent detail throughout the entire range.very sharp and well exposed. Great capture of expression. I love this b&w conversion.

i am not one for people portraits myself, but had to say that this one caught my eye.

i am a fan of b&w, though, and really enjoyed the conversion.

nice capture, john, as always.

Have to agree with all other comments: I can't really see any room for improvements here. Maybe there is some, but I certainly can't see it!

Great shot, John.

Best,
