It's nice ..and she's far too pretty for you mate. ;)

The light looks a bit contrasty. Try these window shots on overcast days when you can get some beautiful soft natural light portraits. What lets this one down for me is the hard shadow on the near side of the nose and mouth, and then the sudden plunge into shadow on the near cheek. The far cheek highlight is very close to being blown. If you can set up some reflectors (anything white really) to reflect some light back into the shadow side of the face you can get some stunning soft natural light shots. :)

I agree. I did try a bit of burning, but it didn't really help much. It ended up a bit grey. Cheers for the comments ;)

She hates having her picture taken. Very self concious!

Even rainy days are great for window shots. Wives are long suffering models aren't they? :D Take some beautiful soft light shots of her and she'll want to pose for you - she's a woman. ;)

She looks quite relaxed, did you catch her unawares or is this her "get on with it then" pose? :)

I prefer the original. The dark side of her face is intriguing. The edited version looks kinda fake. Get me?
