Beautiful image Denise,
very sharp, well exposed, clean background an well composed.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Ditoo above. I would only tame the darker streak crossing the bill. Good job!!

[Joe Senzatimore]

Real nice portrait. Great exposure. I might crop some off the right side.

[Art Kornienko]

Nice exposure and sharpness, I like the crop the way it is and agreee with Daniel, about the vertical dark streak.

Hey Denise,
Very nice portrait......as far as the dark green streak......it will definitely minimize any distractions.......so not a bad idea. I like the crop as presented. The detail in the whites looks pretty good too......nice job!

Thanks for the tips guys! Hope this is better

I usually don't like head and neck images, but this is really pretty. The nice eye and beautiful background hold alot of interest and the repost is right on.

[Roman Kurywczak]

works for me!

Denise:

I agree with the critques, and the repost is an improvement. Excellent exposure control.

Very nice repost, Denise. I always try to soften straight lines in BG because the really catch the eye. Very good image all around.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, details and composition. The removal of the green area makes it even better.

[Doug Brown]

Very nicely done Denise; the repost is a definite improvement!
