Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5.
"Reaching" - 'Sambucus nigra', as my wife calls it, or Black Lace Elderberry for the rest of us.

Any interest in this group?
Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?

I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

Outside the tourist area photos.
These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

I really like the second image, nice work!
I agree with Jonathan. The 1st image is definitely solid. But the 2nd is superior. I love the lighting pattern in both.
However, the cropped left arm in the 1st image leaves it unbalanced. Also, there are some hotspots in both that could be a little distracting. I would try feathering the light a bit, aim less "at" her face, a little more "at" her torso. I believe the falloff would be much more pleasing and you'd remedy the hotspots.
That said, I am mesmerized by her eyes. The position of the light was perfect for drawing attention to her strongest features. The shadow on her upper eyelid is perfect! If I had to guess, I'd say that you used a reflector to accentuate them. No?
All around great work. Keep it up!
Beautiful photo and model, great colors and like others have said the crop doesn't work on the 1st one. Also you could clean up the top in post, i did a quick 30 sec job just to check if it made sense or not and this is what I got...
