Hi Azzaro ... awww Sherry didn't flunk, people look but don't comment.
I find it hard to keep up with replying to all the posts myself :nod

She looks cool to me, she has a lovely smile,I like her hat, and she has trendy sunnies on too.

Thank you for sharing your friend Sherry's picture Azzaro.

I think it looks good. If you wanted to try something. Try burning the top left and right corners a bit and when you do that try burning all three (highlights, midtones and shadows) just a little at a time, set exposure to 5-9% and maybe soften it up a smidge.

Good exposure too…

Morning Azzaro,

I like the shot, pretty close crop to work with, but I think you've captured the essence of a very pretty lady.

It looks like it could use a little sharpening, especially around her facial features, but that's just me.

I think she'll love it!!

Hi Skippy.....Thanks for commenting.....I wasn't upset...The post was kind of tongue in cheek. I don't shoot portraits very often, and when I do they are more like snapshots......besides it wasn't my first 0. :D azzaro

Hi Panther, thanks for commenting.... I think that I need to go back to the raw picture and start over......I just about wore the pixels out changing it...

Azzaro-

Based on your usual shots, I was expecting to see a dusty old bottle of sherry! :rofl

This is a wonderful shot! I like the coloring and the composition. I would like to see her whole hat, I think, because the cropped sides and tiny bit at the top sorta bother me. But the subject is the pretty lady and you captured that for sure. Nice job!

Hi Lauren...Thanks for the thoughtful comment....She is very photogenic. The composition would have been better if it had included the bottom of the necklace and stampede strap, That would have solved the to tight of a crop.

You gave me the idea for shooting my socks and now and old bottle of sherry. Sherry drinking sherry..... Keep the ideas coming.:roflazzaro
