I like it, as an opening stab at the kind of portraiture that Payam does. I am only a bit distracted by the background colors. They're just not ideal. But I like the approach and hope you keep it up. Is this Emily, by any chance :-)

@Myrddin: NO! This is NOT Emily! MAN! Ha ha ha. Quite bringing that up will ya!

Nice portrait.
I disagree with Myrddin (sorry M ;-)). I think he light and colour at the top of the photo balances out the highlights around her knees and shoes.

This is a lovely portrait. The lighting and colours are lovely, the soft focus very flattering for the subject, and her smile and posture are so friendly. Well captured.

The soft effect looks great. I really like her casual relaxed position as well. Those are some hole-y jeans!

Nice photo - I really want to start working with portraits... Holey jeans though...my current pair have an ever-growing hole in one knee and it's starting to get a tad chilly now that winter is approaching!!

Excellent ! I love the soft feel of this. The jeans remind me of when I was a lot younger and wore similar styles.
