Large Crop to avoid messy background

Lovely shot - might be nice to remove the dust spot from behind the head and to clean up the BG noise at bit - otherwise good light, sharpness and eye contact

How is this? I tried NR in CS3 PS but I am no pro at NR

[Axel Hildebrandt]

The repost looks much better, I like the eye contact and BG. There is some lack of fine detail, probably due to the large crop.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Good cleanup on the repost, but the large crop is showing its effects. The light may have been good, but its angle not so much...I'd prefer if the sun were behind you to avoid the shadows sprinkled here and there (see eye, and area near and behind the cheek).

Thanks for your help folks as usual it is great stuff.:)
