Very good portrait. I like the pose of model. Perfect background and dof. Good work. Congrats

nice portrait of this beautiful lady

I think you have all the basic elements down for a good portrait. Pose is fine, although it is not usually very flattering for the model to have her hair pulled back out of sight of the camera.

 

The contrast is a bit flat. I increased the contrast and dodged her eyes and teeth to give them a bit more "pop". I dodged and blurred the dark crescents under her eyes.

 

The crop should be a bit tighter. There is quite a bit of wasted space that doesn't have anything interesting going on in it.

 

Unlike many portraits we see on photo.net, you have the key right on. I just wanted to enhance the key, so using the Elliptical Marquee Selection tool feathered at 60 pixels, I selected an oval and then selected the inverse. I used the Brightness/Contrast control to darken outside of the oval.

 

I copied the entire image and blurred it. I then selected Layer>Layer Style and reduced the opacity to about 30%. I then selected the eraser tool and erased her eyes on the blurred layer to leave everything except her eyes in soft focus. I then flattened the image.

 

I also added an edge treatment.

 

If you don't find my suggestions helpful, then please send me an email and I will be happy to delete them for you.

Nice
I agree with Steve about the his edition
Best regards

Hello George... beautiful portrait of Dani. I like the open space in yours which gives a nice balance... and the overall feel of this portrait has a natural, soft appeal to it with a beautiful earthy tone. Nice work
