I must admit I have been lax in both my shooting and posting recently, perhaps due to the fact my wife has now retired, and we are spending a LOT more time together doing various activities.

An afternoon out on the water
It was mid September late in the afternoon, a group of sailboats were out on the water enjoying the weather, there was a soft breeze blowing, pushing on the sails.

This is an awesome shot. I love the lighting and the background. If anything I would say maybe a rim light of sorts to pull her off the dark background a little bit but it's not really needed at all. Maybe fix some flyaway hairs? all minimal and me just nit picking. Better than I have been able to do myself haha. I did want to see what it would look like with a tighter crop so I hope you don't mind that I tried this. keep it up. Love it!
I love the lighting and her expression. I too would like to see a hair light of some kind because she is falling into that dark background.
About the original cropping! To me, she is stepping out of the shadows, in to my light.
Very nice portrait though with the totally black background I would crop it more as it does not add to the scenery.
