Portrait of my wife on the famed Cedar Bridge in Madison County Iowa. I preferred the black/white to color, and my wife and I both liked the border. Uncropped from the camera. Adjusted histograms to bring out a bit more of the shadows around my wife's face, desaturated, bumped up contrast a bit, resized, sharpened, added border by increasing canvas size.
Hope you like it as much as I do.

Nice location. I have been to Madison County and visited the bridges. It is a great idea. I like the pose, but the shadow hides the model's face. You might have been able to use a reflector or some fill flash to light her face. I have a real nitpick... the leaves in the background look over sharpened. In fact, with the multiple pass image loading made the bright spots very evident, but that wouldn't be the case with a print.
