Nice shot ... just a TAD too much soft focus, maybe ... crop out all that is right of her ear and below the fold on her shoulder for a much more dynamic shot IMO. 6
nice happy shot. It's a shame a picture frame goes through her head. As this is advanced editing perhaps you could have got rid of that. Get's a vote though :)
How abut cropping to really bring focus to that nice smile? I tried cropping a bit from the top, without the gray space above the head. What do you think?
