naturally

Amazing model, eyes, hair.  I like the B&W treatment and great bokeh.  I like the tight crop.

I appreciate both of your comments...  you're right Les... technically not enough contrast/range... 

this was one of those evening shots where lighting is very diffused  and contrast naturally low. 

thanks for chiming in!

I like the soft lighting and she does indeed look natural and relaxed . Bill

wow she was so beautiful :)

Frederick - I tried setting the grey and black levels light level in PSE and raising the contrast. Not necessarily an improvement. The original has soft shadows and an overall softness that contributes to the serenity of her expression. Many photographers would try to use PS to get this effect. It's a lovely shot.
