Very uncooperative subject - my stepdaughter, that hates getting her picture taken and gets too nervous to pose. Got this when she didn't know I was taking her picture. Don't expect it'll do to great but sure was a great learning experience. Post editing:
Corel Photopaint:
Rotate
Gausian Blur background,
Levels adjustment on skin tone
Clone out Bra Strap
Some dodging and blurring body outline
Slight Crop
NeatImage to give her skin a more uniform glow.

I do like her gaze...very wistful, I find myself wondering what she is thinking...but the processing is a bit over done for my taste. I think this would have been just as lovely, more so really, if we could see the "natural-ness" of her skin...it's texture, the imperfections...these are the things that make skin look "alive".
Bit too overdone with the neat image but a lovely daydreamy shot nonetheless. Your model has lovely eyes and my only other suggestion would be to maybe have her angled down a little lower so you can see more of the eyes. Good Luck in the challenge!
