Hi. I like it! I'm new to this so I really cant give you a good critiqueing (is that a word? LOL) Anyway, from my beginner eyes I notice a hard blue line on the right where the horizon is. Is this from post processing? And the left side of her face looks soft or is that on the lens? The water is fantastic! Looks like she is standing marshmellow fluff or snow! Great! She looks very comfortable too in front of the camera, very pretty girl.

yeah the blue line is me adding a blue filter to make the sky less washed out... the left side of the face is me trying the dodge tool to light up that side of her face -guess I need to try that one again :)

What does the original look like? I do think it is a very nice picture though! Did you model like it?

I see what you mean with the shadow on the face. I know nothing about photoshop yet! LOL I hope you get the results your looking for because it's a really nice photo. I'm sure the model will love it when she see it! :-)

I just selected her face and used the IMAGE>adjustments>shadow/highlight on CS2
Other than that I just used auto levels.
Hope it's ok that I did this.

This looks good Moondragon! The softness is gone on the left side of the face and her features are much more distinguishable. I think you got it! Great job!

Nice photo. Color, light, focus seem to be good. I do find the positioning of her legs bothersome, particularly her right leg. She doesn't really look stable. It presents an awkward angle to the camera IMO.

Oh, and yes, she is a very attractive young lady.
