[QUOTE="hark, post: 217299, member: 13196"] I would have liked to see her left elbow in the photo. It almost looks like she is getting squeezed to fit into the photo. And like the others said, it is slightly overexposed. This is a good reason why also shooting in RAW is so important. You can salvage some of the blown highlights in post processing better than working with a JPEG. Friday night I took theater photos at my local high school. The first shot is always a gamble because it has to be taken quickly--a spot light comes on and the person walks into it. No way to accurately meter ahead of time. I blew the highlights in the first photo, but to my surprise, when using Lightroom 4, I was able to regain some detail in the blown highlights making it a decent photo--but I couldn't salvage the original JPEG version by trying the same thing. She looks nice--you captured her essence--her inner beauty which really shows through making it a terrific photo regardless! :D It's no wonder she liked it! [/QUOTE]
