There's such light and sweetness radiating from her! One thing that I do notice when I look at this portrait is how much the bright red of her lips and her blouse stand out. By desaturating those areas, the viewers' focus would tend to go more directly to her pretty face. There's also a noticeable haloing around her head, perhaps from oversharpening or some other PP technique. Or maybe she's just an angel. ;)

Better skin tones on this one. Has a great natural feel to it. You have a great pair of smiles to work with.

I will agree with Sandy here. A slight tweak in either stauration or maybe play with selective colors to smooth out and soften the colors a bit. Nice work.

I think you did GREAT! Sometimes if skin tones look too harsh, I will try just a tiny bit of desaturation of the reds and/or yellows and it gives it a little softer look.

This is beautiful tho. I have a feeling your wife can't possibly take a bad portrait :) She is so pretty in front of the camera!
