    The color is off, a little too green/grey. Normally I like a nice close crop but I think that this one is a little too tight. It also looks like you shot in bright sunlight which is very difficult light (too much contrast so you end up with an image that doesn't have a full tonal range) try again on an overcast morning.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Maybe a little more shade, but the composition and DOF seem fine.

    Hi Jennifer,
    The background (bg) is nicely out of focus and sets off the subject well. The framing is fine with me, but MB1 has apoint about the colors. Tweak it a little , but not too much.
    please do not edit and repost my photos
