Too dark on the face. Picture needs to be straightened up, look at your lines on the right hand side. Red bean bag thing over her shoulder is distracting.
Thanks guys for your feedback. I’m really new to photography. And she wouldn’t stay still at all
Thanks again.

Please don't feel beat up or discouraged. Keep shooting, falling on your face, and doing it again. Photography is a journey and not a destination. The more you know the more you realize there is so much more to learn.
Very good to read! What started me in photography a long time ago was when I took a picture of the Delicate Arch in Moab, Utah. I was with the photographer that worked for me and I showed it to him. The photo I took was quite good, I thought. When I showed it to my photog, expecting the praise I thought it deserved, he had responded with, "it sucks." He quickly tried to backpedal realizing he had answered with a straight answer and tried to soften his critique. I had not problem with being told my photo sucked, even if I was slightly wounded, but why does it suck. He explained and that experience set me on my way to learning photography. Years later we now go on shoots together as colleagues.
I was lent a 35mm F1.8 lens to try some portraits. Will again upload some pictures.
Thank you very much my friend.
That might be a good lens for group shots, but for individual portraits, something in the telephoto range of 85mm to 125mm would be better especially for head shots. And at a minimum, no less than 50mm.
If you are far enough back taking a full body photo, then 35mm might be okay. But what will happen if you get close to your subject to take a head and shoulders image is something called perspective distortion. Things that are closer to the camera (such as noses) may appear elongated and abnormal.
But give it a try because that's really the only way you are going to learn. [/QUOTE
Wow. Thanks. Really helpful advice. Didn’t know that. I’m just trying some lenses from from friends to have some personal perspective of how each one works.
But this one is definitely noted.
Thank you again
