Description This a portrait I took today of my good friend Megan at Doune Castle.
I remembered that and had set me a challenge to take 10 portraits. So this is portrait number two (or is it three?).

I did a bit of creative colouring with the portrait but I think it works better but I might redo the colouring in Photoshop so we'll see.

I really like how this turned out.

Please tell me what you think!

The subject is cool (I like her in this sort of 'candid' shot) and I love the contrasts of of the different greens she's set against. I think you changed her skin tone for this, and in some ways (if that's the case) it helps the overall picture (she stands out, but the color composition is consistant, vs a proper skin tone or a brighter one), yet either way her hue seems a tad flat. But WOW those greens and that setting... I like it a lot and really think that more subjects against such wonderful exteriors are worth experimenting with.

No offense, but I'd be able to citique bette without the watermark. That said, the subject is cool (I guess Hi, Max!) and I love the contrasts of of the different greens she's set against

No offense taken, I just prefer having watermarks (not that anyone would want to steal one of my photos) I have taken the watermark off if you'd like to critique now?

thanks for the comments. Max says hi!
