well not really a cowgirl but as close as I've got

critique and comments welcome

Nicely balanced lighting Russt - especially with that hat.

This is a beautiful portrait. Love the location, those grasses give a very pleasant background to the picture.
She looks splendid!!

Well done, Russ...

I like this a lot and would mirror the other comments, the only element that bothers me is the grass across her forehead near teh left eye as you look at it.

Nice shot.

Thanks Chris, Irma and Craig...........your comments are appreciated

Craig, I take on board what you are saying about the grass.........I have already did some cloning of grass but I must say that cloning is not one of my processing strong points. I do have another shot which I thought was better in some aspects but it would have been more cloning.

Irma,I am glad you liked the background, I thought it worked with the hat

cheers

A lot of times, a portrait is made better by an taking in an appropriate setting, The tall grass here really helps to set a rustic. outdoorsy mood for the cowgirl.

Russ, if you like I can help. I can work with your original image, just send it to me by mail and I'll remove the grass....

I like this shot Russt ,
