Nice shot and good lighting, everywhere except on her left arm. The light drop-off (or vignette applied in post) makes her arm appear to be a dingy dark gray. Was that your intent?

Scott,
To be quite honest, I was trying to figure out how to fold/circle my new portable background to get it back into that little bag (oh what fun that is), when in walks the clown.
I told her to hold on, let me grab the camera --- she said "I'm not posing, take a quick shot if you have to"
So, that's why there was not a good pose. As to the vignette, yeah, it's a little too heavy. I will admit though, due to the bright colors that she had on I did want most of the picture darker - to bring the focus to her face.
I wasn't trying to make a work of art with this, just a Happy Halloween snapshot.

You are probably a little better off if you are grumpy rather than having a grumpy wife!!!
At least that has been my experience.
