This is an absolutely stunning photograph, everything that i think makes a good portrait is there. She has a beautiful twinkle in her eyes, good hand placement and she looks very comfortable and natural. I also really love the background in this photo and how the sun comes through in diamond shapes and reflects onto the hands and face! Congrats well done !!

I think this is a very good and well timed photograph, Im really intrigued to know what these people are looking at. I also really like the shadows and the bits of natural light created by the gap in the tunnel wall. The faces are also well lit and are giving off a nice natural glow! Well done.

This photo is very effective because of the way the light has fallen, it highlights the subject and leaves everything else in the dark. It tells a lovely story. You should be very happy with this photograph you have captured it perfectly. Well done !!
