It seems you enjoyed the 5D II a lot.

The low angle is nice and makes for an intimate viewing. I wish the light was from the right. That would have eliminated the shadows. Infact, if the light were from the right, then it would have been a good idea to move more to the right and compose along with the cuve of the mound to create a pattern with the body (two convex lines). In the present situation, it would have been better to move to the left to reduce the shadow portion of the body.

I have virtually stopped using flash. Don't remember when was the last time I used. However, in this case, from the same position, it would have been better to use a fill flash to open up the shadows. Thanks for sharing.

cheers,

Nice environment photograph. The head turn and the eye contact is nice. Thanks for sharing.

The detail resolved on the face and eye region is appreciable

Nice work.
