Good lighting here—soft, directional, and well-controlled. The girl’s face is lit cleanly, with just enough shadow to give depth without flattening the features. The red mug pops nicely against the neutral tones of her sweater and the background, which helps anchor the eye.
The composition is balanced: the chair, tree, and window create a natural frame. The depth of field is just right—enough to keep the subject sharp while softly blurring the background, which keeps the focus where it should be.
I’d like to know what you used for the fill light on her face. The window light seems to be the key, but there’s a clean, even quality to the shadows that suggests a secondary source. Was it a reflector, a softbox, or something else?
