portrait

[natatbeach]

This was a very casual portrait taken of a friend fro her husbands birthday...next to a window andother light source on the opposite side of the window ( forgot about a reflector for under the chin area)

I shot it in color-- but she asked for BW and she wanted me to smooth blend etc skin tones...
so I did all that in PS ( cloned birthmarks, blotchy skin and some wrinkles)

I also applied a diffuse glow to it...

Please give any/all suggestions on how to improve it...we still have another week to try this again...if need be.
