Pretty lighting on her face!

She looks really tense, though, with the fisted hand and the curled toes. Also, her eyes are almost completely white, so having her look back toward the camera or at the camera would let us see the irises. Last suggestion - perhaps her placing her left hand lightly on her thigh would have been more graceful.

Love the warm colors.

Thank you for your feedback. I do see what you mean about looking tense, but she was very relaxed. Ultimately it is the impression of the viewer though. I do have 3 others of her in the same pose looking at the camera where her pupils can be seen. I edited this one because after she and her fiancé looked through off of the images, this is the one they chose of the four in this particular pose. You never know what the customer is inclined to pick . They love this image. I will not edit the other three images unless I need to update my portfolio. Thanks again.

My first impression was the same - she's tense. Have to agree on the eyes, hand, arm and toes too. At times I don't show an image to the client when I see too many issues with it. That way they won't "love it" and I end up selling less than my best work for others to see.

True. I did go through them before sent it to them. I think this just shows that everyone has different taste. I am actually glad that it was in the group, because even though you and I might have selected a different image, they did have a choice and pick what they liked and wanted. This edit was not less than my best. I worked hard on it and I am glad that they "love it".

My first impression was that the white balance was off. Sis called it "warm" in her post and seemed to like it that way, but I think I'd want to see it corrected before deciding.

White balance was purposely adjusted for this image to tone it warmer. I could correct it so you can have a look.
