Garth,

This is such a gem. She looks like such a sweet girl, yet you've portrayed her in a way that is not corny or sentimental, just direct. I love the light, especially the reflected light. My only question is about the yellow reflected light on her chin. The thing is, it's such a great piece of color I almost hate to mention it, but the trouble is that my eye goes right to her chin. Maybe it's the photograph, and if it is, forgive me. But I think it is too yellow and too large an area. It makes me wonder how a white sweater could bounce back light that yellow, but where else could the color be coming from? Maybe if you tempered it a bit or added yellow to other shadow areas?

Alex
