A little too soft??

Tina, my bosses' ex who came to join us for a drink one night & he asked me to take a pic of her (I nearly always have my camera) & so I did. She's quite glamorous, so I spent a little longer than normal in post-processing, but I think I've made it a little too soft, not sure.

She is beautiful. I like your pp alot! . But not so sure about that orange halo around her hair and I reckon the skin could do with a little more hue perhaps? I'ts a tad 'orange'. Great shot, though.

The glow is a bit strong, the teeth look un-natural and the eyes are lost in shadow or with the PP work. Finally remove the white spot on the background as that's a distraction.

Tidy those areas up and you will have a great image, and tone down the orange

She is beautiful, and it is way too soft IMHO... to much glow as well. Great light and great caught moment. But the whole photo has a hazy feel to it, which is okay, just not my bag.

Excellent shot, maybe a soft sharpen would be in order

g'day Brad, lovely lady....I think it is a bit too much PP in terms of glow and the pose emphasises her nose a bit much. A slight turn to her left would have been more flattering. Was it a caught moment or pose?

You need to see a specialist if you're too soft with a beautiful woman like this around....i keeeed!

It was a definite "of the moment" shot with a

"get your camera out Brad & take a photo",

"eh?? But I've just had 4 beers...."

Thanks for your comments everyone, I will have a play with the original & see what I can come up with.
