Hello Dgrinners,
I don't post much, but I'd like to get some comments on this picture of my wife. It has been touched up a bit, but I'm looking for comments on angle of shot, crop size, lighting, etc. Thanks for all your comments.

Have you been taking lessons from Eric Clapton? No image here

Another try:

Swartzy

The pose is pretty good. The saturation is extreme and entirely too red/w/yellow. Color balance would improve this as less sharpening and Jpeg artifacts (see outline of face).

pretty pose but the color seems to be off and the skin seems a little too smooth

+1 and the lighting is bit too too harsh (small light source does that)
