Wow I really like the shot!

As far as cc.. I might brighten the whole image up a little. And clean up the hairs on her forehead; and possiblyyy the bags under the eyes as well some might think that adds to the mood though.

Thanks :) As far as brightness, the first thing I did was a levels adjustment. This was as far as I could take it w/o blowing highlights. I've never been big on retouching skin. Perhaps I just need to get better at it but ty for the feedback!

I like this photo a lot. I thinking brightening it would ruin the mood. I'm also not one for fixing a persons 'natural flaws' unless asked to do so.

I like it, but is there is a strand of grass that is OOF right in front of her face? it seems like she has a streak of yellow/green skin.

I like the idea but with the shallow DOF, looks like focus was on the leading edge of her hood, leaving her face a bit too soft for my tastes. Second, the white balance seems to be too blue. Third, I agree that the grass in the foreground is distracting. One thing that I like is the way this is taken, draws you right to your beautiful model's eyes. JMHO.
