Default Lit using a reflector
Another B&W portrait.. this time a rather brave crop. This was taken during really harsh bright sun light, around mid day. I turned her away from the sun and used a reflector to throw light back on to her face. The reflector was sitting on her lap. Comments welcome as always.

Amazing...I am a fan of tighter crops when the subject's eyes are as lovely as these !

Excellent. Good impact with the crop but I think I would even crop tighter on the top around for another 8 mm or so.

Very well cropped, I love tight crops. The reflector makes an interesting catch light too.

Nice shot as usual.

I think it woul dhave been better in camera position was just a little bit towards right hand side. The edge of the nose on her right hand side looks a bit odd to me (looks like 2 lines).
