This was shot on a warm early spring day. She was reading, hence the reason her eyes are downcast.

Hi AAron.
There is a lot of things I like a lot in this pic. But there is also things I don't like. Héhé.
I think that you sould have paid attention to some details very disturbing. Her shoulder and the contrast on her face doesn't fit the ambiance of the pic. It is only my humble opinion.
See the WS.
See you
Denis.

Great colors and composition. I kind of like the soft look. JP

Bardzo ciekawa kompozycja.Interesujaco przedstawiona kompozycja barw.

I like the exposure of your key photo.
With PP, You've managed to make it even more interesting...
I know, some people love cyan... I don't. A matter of personal taste, of course ;)

The original is a nice photo but kind of bland. With your work in Photoshop you really made it come alive. Good job!

Bonjour Aaron. Très beau portrait comme sorti d'un rêve. Amitié, Patty.

Exactly perfect!

Very nice angle... hot colors... Yummmy!
