Not really a failure. You would try to make the face more detailed in the light and at the same time the background more detailed in the color. It is not an easy balance but this photo comes really close.
I have a confession...I love this picture and I don't see it as a technical failure. The people that see my work the most love these pictures because they love the soft lighten and how natural they look it in...go figure...Thank you so much for your beauty in all forms. You are AMAZING!!!! I absolutely, 100% agree with Magpie..that is the wonder of creativity and having a creative spirit/heart. Whatever you are doing Kate...please keep doing it!
One person's "technical failure" is someone else's perfectly magical image, and I think you know what camp I'm in! I love how it looks sepia-toned, with the pop of the green grass behind. Just lovely, BC!
I wouldn't be so harsh if I were you. Your subject is nicely bracketed with light and dark and she is visible. It is a nice portrait. Some of my personal favorites
Technical failure? I don't think so! Great photos come in all forms. The only problem I see here is that leaving the barn door open might let the barn critters escape. Then, as I've heard it said, it's too late to shut the barn door!
I love barns and barn doors and what's behind barn doors and the smell of hay and old manure and spilt milk and tangy leather ...
It is a delightful picture, there is expression in the tilt of the head, and the balance of tones is attractive, except maybe to a stranger who wants to see who it is in the doorway. This is very easy with a 'dodge' tool if you have an editor to hand. The result need not show as an edit. By the way, there is a birthday card waiting for you - I didn't know how to send it. Take care, Bob

I think that sometimes we get too caught up in technique; why wouldn't you love it?! It's a lovely and unusual portrait.
Thanks, Kate.

Who needs technique when we get such a perfect and glowing shot. I think it looks just like it should. MB
Nice effect. Works for me.
Beautiful photo! I agree with Kate, sometimes you can get too technical and lose sight of the art!
It's a very pleasant picture. Perfect hair for a halo.
Sunny :)
Nice effect. These lighting conditions are one of those situations that illustrates the superior capabilities of the human eye to the camera lens.
It's a lovely photo...it's very ethereal. I think with photography - like all art - we get to decide what we like and what works.

A sweet portrait between light and shadow...

Ah, memories.
P.S. If we ever make it to Brattleboro, we'll gladly eat your cooking...'cause if your cooking is a good as your photos...well, we're in for a treat!
Great warm photo. I agree with Kate and Sharon, if needed to choose, I choose the feeling over technique.
Do you really care about technicality when you have so much warmth?
I love my many mistakes and I am glad you posted one too. Most of the times aren't real mistakes and your picture seems quite good anyway...
This image has a Wyeth feel to it for me. I like rustic barn and low light of the portrait . . . it keeps my eye in the image longer.
I think unusual portrait,too.
Very lovely woman!
I think it's wonderful, great photography and she is adorable!

I don't care about the technical failure, it's a wonderful image!
