I would have croped a little bit (1 or 2px) of the left side ... you can see some very thin white line but great picture -10

Comment by Gordon:
Absolutely wonderful One of the best portraits I've seen. Graceful pose, beautiful light, stunning location. Marvellous. Shame we can only score to 10+

I would love to know more about this - was the light all natural or did you use any reflectors or assistance ? Is the processing just all pretty much from the camera or is some of the softness added later ?

I love the colors and lighting (it has a wonderful, romantic feel to it) but I think your subject should be off to the left a little. However, I do like the person's shadow on the ground so maybe not. Until you notice that, the picture doesn't feel right but you don't want to lose the impact of that shadow. Perhaps soften the bright white light on the pavement and instead of cropping off the right of the picture, leave more to the left.

I like the composition and the light, I feel, is excellent. Nice shot.

Comment by Nusbaum:
The lighting on your subject is fantastic and I think you have definitely captured the mode of 'alone'. I subject's face says 'alone', so I think you could have cropped tighter and removed much of the door on the right. It's very good, but I think it has even more potential!
