Thank you all very much for the great comments, faves and the HM. I'm especially happy with this shot as I just went with how I would normally shoot and edit a shot, rather than trying to make it as DPC friendly as possible.
REALLY pleased with the average commenter vote. That's a special score and there are many photographers under that category for whom I have the utmost respect, so thanks.

I gave a 9 here. I'm wondering if you have any "outtakes" where you used a very high fstop to focus in on the background. I know it may be impossible to get it all in focus but I was just curious as to what it would look like !
Fantastic shot! I love the little red earring. I would like to see her hand darkened a bit to match skin tone of her face but that it nit picky. Gorgeous!!
