C&C please !
This was not a posed portrait, my "model" hates posing and I like natural expressions.

It's a good picture, and your subject is a pretty lady, but she just didn't give you anything to work with. -rick Rick S.

Nov 10, 2012 13:00 | #3 This would have been improved if you had not gotten the sky in the scene, since it's too bright and taking attention away from the subject. Also, the subject placed more to the right of the frame would work better because there would be more leading space and it would not seem so static of an image.

Looks like you fixed the highlights on the left side of her face ? I am on a tablet right now so the colors are somewhat hard to judge. Her skin needed some help and the highlights in the BG were reduced. Also warmed her up a bit, brightened her eyes, lot of little things. Dave
