This is Deanne. She's a great friend of mine, and we shoot together a lot.
Editing was minimal, levels, curves, resize, shart sharpen, (all after raw conversion in lightroom)
hope you enjoy, i'm hoping for a 6.5+ on this :D

back to bump +1, and leave some additional comments:
the good:
dof and wb look good,
good expression and apropriate clothing for the story.
the bad:
too bad the right hand (a bit overexposed) merges with the blown out white books in the bg.
spectacles' frame is intersecting left eye (I can´t avoid seeing it all the time, not sure if this is "bad" though:-)).
I would like to see better lighting control.
A simple photo very nicely done. Eyes are off center to add interest, eyes are definitely focal point, dark hair dark flasses and shirt complement each other well. Lighting is really nice... subtleties on the face, glasses work well, hari creates some soft shadows.
Wow. I love the sexy librarian look. If the top of her hand was not blown out it would be a 10. however it is still a very nice 8 from me. I hope to see it on the front page. :)
