I'm sure you will both agree that she could use some management of her hair in order to avoid the scalp showing so prominently where it parts.

There are some areas that are too hot, such as her nose and the top of her dress - not to mention most of the blossoms. In short - it's badly over-exposed.

Work on your exposure and lighting to get the tones you want. The pose is great and the model is beautiful. You could get some of it fixed in PS, but it woud be better to learn how to get it right in the camera.

Thank you for your comments. Perhaps, reducing flash output might help balance the lighting ... as a starting point.

Warmed it up and tried to reduce some of the contrast to reduce "blown out" look ....

I like the third version between... she is so beautiful.

std::cout << "POTN is the best." << std::endl;
return 0; }
