Thanks Steve - this is indeed just a snapshot of my wife at the kitchen table. I liked her natural expression, so I worked up the lighting and desat in PS. I'd love to produce images similar to this out of the camera some day - but I'll need to work on lighting. =)

With the light/colors, I was going for a look similar to one of my favorite shots on this site: Cutter's Snowbound Simpleton:

'Just a snapshot that turned out nice'

Turned out very nicely indeed if I may say so. Lovely candid expression, and the desat adds to it perfectly. Pretty model.

This is lovely, just can't get along with the thing by her mouth.

Overall nice portrait. What does she have near her mouth? I find that distracting but overall good job.
