But all is not lost, this background can be relatively easily fixed with a little cropping and use of the "lens blur" tool in PS, though it will take working with some additional layers and channels to make it work. It is just personal preference for me but in most portraiture I do both male and female, I like to vignette the corners and edges. Our eyes are drawn more to light areas than dark and it helps to focus more on the subject. It will also help to minimize bright backgrounds like this one. I also gave a little unsharp mask to raise the sharpness level just a bit. What do you think? </blockquote>
