Thanks, Tim. Jocelyn is not a model by any means. She's my
girlfriend, and my frequent subject for class assignments. :) I was
completeing an assignment on window lighting.
I was using the A50/1.7 at 5.6 and 1/200s.

A fine portrait IMO. I like the light and the pose. She seems comfortable
with situation.
Is she a pro model? I'm just curious about the situation of the shoot.
BTW: What lens and what stop?

It looks to me as though the plane of focus takes in
her bangs and the tip of her nose, rather than her
eyes. Otherwise, very nice.

Interesting title. I suppose there are improper portraits, then
grin?
Available light is always something wonderful. Even though I must use
flash many times, the directional available light, such as you had,
can be great to work with. That being said, this light seems just a
little strong -

Hello,
Did you use auto focus on this shot? The focus seems to a bit forward of
her eyes. Auto focus or manual, y'gotta get the eyes in focus.
Her head is at an awkward angle, the lighting is very good. Framing might
be improved with some cropping and trimming.
Why is this a proper portrait?

Next time let her keep the labret in (I'm assuming I see the hole just
below the lower lip?) Otherwise a nice subject makes for a nice
portrait. :-)
Sadly, the dot in her lower lip is a scar from the labret piercing -
it's no longer a hole.

Ok, thanks. It was actually manual focus (Pentax A 50/1.7).

I like a somewhat heigher camera angle than what you shot. I generally
try to put the lens axis at about the same level as the eyes.
Hah. You and my instructor both!!! He mentioned that explicitly, and
I'm sure he's going to give me heck over

I think this is pretty darn good, in my opinion. Don't know enough to offer
detailed suggestions about lighting,
Very nice!
Nice subject, pose lighting.
If it were mine I'd crop out everything below the horizontal part of the
scarf - somewhat distracting IMHO.

That is good information, Marnie. Thanks. My instructor told us the
same thing, unless we're going for a powerful look to the subject.
I had to keep reminding myself to stay above Jocelyn (*ahem*). It
turns out that I forgot for this photo.
Perhaps I'm subconsciously positioning her as the
