The lighting is good, the PS work seems to have acheived your purpose, but to me; the pose leaves much to be desired.

Rich, thanks for your comments. She wasn't actually "posed". This was an after coitus pic. She had "spaced" and wasn't really aware of the camera or me at that particular instant.

0.8 might be a bit too much for a pic this size. I'd like to see a softer treatment of the skin of her face - keep the eyes sharp, though.
Looking up her nostril doesn't do a lot for me either, but I suppose that you couldn't help that. A hard, on cam flash is generally not flattering for women (that you hope to sleep with again) :wink:
