Lovely!

Beautiful composition and colours but I feel the fine detail is missing, did you use NR?

Hi Jon, I checked the post processing history. The only noise reduction was on the background. I think what your are seeing is the result of the lens I was using at the time. For this type of image it lacked the resolution of the lens I use now. Thank you for commenting and viewing.

Lovely colors plus a very nice pose, comp, and background. I was going to note the seeming lack of detail - possibly due to NR - but then I saw your response to Jon.
