I am SO happy with the way this has come out. The first really outting with the 70-200F4 and I am so thankful to my wonderful girlfriend, Michelle, for taking a day off from her revision to let me play. We had great fun doing this and have about 100 shots that are all different but equally special to choose from, but this just one just clinched it. Its hard to see at 640 pixels but she is the only part of the photo in focus, which may upset some people but I love it, my only other worry is the colours my be a bit too bright for some. It reminds me of a Monet painting. I'd love it to do well, but I really dont care as its my favourite photo I've ever taken.

red is soooo friggin hard to capture right on digital. Don't feel bad that I think you failed a bit here. (they look quite saturated) Still a nice contemplative portrait. I would have liked to see her eyes, even if she wasn't looking at the camera.
Neat composition. Something seems a bit off and I'm not sur eI can put my finger on it. Perhaps a little overuse of the shadow/highlight feature? Oversaturation of reds? I'm not sure. :/
