Rachel #2

[Bilbo_baggin]

A variation on the theme, but a simpler pose - I just said sit sown in the buttercups and smile at the camera.

Rachel's smile was a little contrived to begin with until the wife started making gestures behind me which slid Rachel into little giggles, and the more natural smile came then.

I still want to portray that golden glow of a hot summer's day, so I applied a slight Orton effect to this one - the vibrance that brings I think helps this kind of portrait along, despite the bright areas ( but what would I know, I do slugs's faces usually )


C&C as always appreciated.
