Smile please!

I am normally shy about asking people if I can take their picture but I
decided to get out of my comfort zone when I went to the coffee
and craft afternoon at Bellurgan Park today. The late afternoon
sun was shining in though the big windows in the drawing room,
giving beautiful natural light.

Well done Mairead, I'm too shy too!! But this is a fab shot of a pretty colleen, the lovely warm sunlight really picks out the rich colours of her hair

Good move to have her tilt her head that way; it gave just the right amount of light and shadow to bring out the shape of her face, and also makes the smile more enigmatic than cheesy. Also, as David alluded to, she has the trademark Irish red hair which always makes for a striking effect.

Really lovely portrait! You were right to take advantage of that spectacular lighting. ~V~

Now if there was such a thing as an Irish colleen from central casting then this pretty young lady would surely be it. Lovely portrait. V

A lovely portrait and I especially like the way the colours harmonise.
