She brightens up the trail

Out for a walk on Saturday Morn with my friend Czarinah.

Nice effort, very tricky shot considering the lighting.

Tell her she has a cool name.

Hi Travis,

This is a decent shot in tricky conditions - some of the remaining issues are fixable in post and some may give you ideas next time you are in the situation:

The main issue is the green cast on her skin. Understandable because of all the foliage, but not very flattering on her skin. You can fix this in post by selecting her and changing the white balance of that area. Alternatively, when shooting, use a flash to balance the light on her with the ambient.

A wider aperture may have worked well here to give a less busy background, while still giving the detail you need to show her on the path. You could add field blur in post but make sure you mask her out first.

I'd also crop it closer to her personally, and I wonder if shooting from a lower angle would have worked better - but these are opinion things.

The shot is well framed, you've done well to keep the dappled light off her face but it highlights the hair nicely, and it is well composed generally. She is also very photogenic, and her makeup and clothes compliment the colours in the scene really well. It's a good photo, and I hope my comments are useful in making more images like it in future.
