Summer session with an athlete. My goal was to capture her soft, feminine side, with the complimentary tones and soft lighting and yet her gaze is purposeful. Nikon 70-200 2.8

Ahh, this one is tough. Striking image first of all.

I love the limited palette, the way she is posed. Very intimate portrait but I feel like the face expression could be better. Seems a little scared, timid in a way. I don't know if it's the mouth, or the hand between her and the viewer that can be used to block off someone but that's just how I see it. The more I see it, very vulnerable image. It's interesting.

As for my comment. I am posting this when it just says "Summer Nikon 70-200 2.8".

If I may suggest, add more details to it. Let viewers know what kind of image you were going for. This may help in your rating :)

Thank you so much for your insightful comments. I will add to the comments. I think I was trying to go with a soft feeling, but an look that draws you in.

Everything is well done, just bring back some skin texture.
