Looks like a good shot to me, F/1.2 can be tricky, but you seem to have focused on her eyes which is good "You are going to fall off a cliff trying to get a better shot someday"- My hopeful and loving wife

Sep 11, 2006 12:33 | #6 The very first thing I do when photographing someone is make sure they are turned at a 45 degree angle to the camera. This will take off about 15 pounds and women love photographers who can take off 15 pounds (and if you can take off 25 They REALLY love you!!!)

Sep 11, 2006 16:13 | #9 Thanks everyone for the comments, to answer a few comments. It’s a new picture of my wife; I have trouble getting her in front of the camera. We recently celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. I originally had her at about a 45 degree angle, and in other pictures she is, but she wanted that one posed as she was. I didn't do that much PP to it, and I have already cropped a good portion of the top out and some of the right side.
