One of the young bridesmaids at my niece's wedding last year. She was incredibly nervous, and so I asked her to look away from me and out of the window into the distance. This is quite heavily cropped from the original (which was portrait and showed probably three-quarter body). I think I've over-processed it but I wanted to create a high-key image and was struck by the intensity of her gaze. I know the closest eye isn't the sharpest, but unfortunately the original point of focus wasn't in the right place. So it's a bit of a bodge in some ways, but technically dodgy or not, I still love the expression on her face. My first upload in way too long, so be gentle!! Grin

Hi Tanya.
I think it's a good little shot. The only thing I would clone out would be the very small blemish on her right cheek but only if you wantedf to. I reckon, all in all, it's a very effective image with striking composition.
Well done you. Wink

Thank you.

Laurel - I did consider removing the blemish, but it's a freckle so I thought I'd leave it where it was, as it's inherently part of who she is.

I think you're being overly harsh on yourself, it's a great shot. Good crop and nice processing.

The nearest eye in spite of what you say has a great transparency adding to the far away gaze, personally I think you have done a very good job, I don't go in for all the technical stuff, a photo appeals or not, this is very appealing regards Leon.GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin
