people...friends and loved ones A warm Finnish summerday...

Just a hint of flash to get the twinkle in the eyes.

-Desaturated and softed a bit in PhotoShop.

Apart from that...it's cropped a bit tighter than the original frame.

I like the shot however there is a few things that I think you can do to improve the shot. 1) I would move the model away from the wall a few steps. 2) Don't use as much softening as you have in this shot. 3) Have her tilt her head twords her front shoulder instead of the back shoulder, it looks more feminine

Positives... Great exposure, nice contrast, good fill, and pretty model... Great job!!

Thanks Johnny! :-))

I appricate your comments...and especially fun was the fact that my gf. read them...and even she said... it makes just perfect sense! :-))

See you around! :-)

PS! I' have changed the original with one less softed, and a bit sepia toned. :-)
