Erm...its untouched (as in no PP).....may be SG abit hot for her, so she got rosy cheek. Or it could be due to the downsizing of the pic and JPG grade of 5?

Any suggestion to improve if you see and possible improvement? Thanks!

I think it is good.

But as the colours are rather muted maybe do a highkey B&W conversion to add more drama to it. And finish off with a diffused focus effect to cut off some of the background distractions.

She's surely a beauty and the picture begs us to see more of her face frontally. For that nothing can be done in this picture.

well... doesn't the picture have a "diffused focus effect" already?



Here's what I understand by diffused focus. Or otherwise indicated by my Hoya "diffused focus" filter.

And Mr espion, if you do have any queries with my english, please do not hesisate to contact Hoya for more details. =D

On to the picture, I think it looks absolutely lovely, and the colors are fine.
