At the risk of upsetting you and others, I don't like it! Too harsh, over bright highlight effect, loss of detail in the face, hands trousers, ground, and leaves; it looks bleached out. Assuming that 'PP' is an abbreviation for Photo-shop software, you have purchased a very expensive camera and lens that designers and manufacturers have put a lot of effort and life into producing for you to obtain high quality images. Why oh why, use software to desecrate their endeavours and achievements? In addition, for me, she would look better wearing a skirt!

Good treatment..... except the loss off the lower part of the jeans. Try a tighter crop to concentrate on the upper body where detail has been retained. But love the effect! Keep it up - a real eye grabber.

I'm in two minds. Different is good but I rather side with John as regards the jeans. I'd redo it and just retain the highlight detail with a careful selection.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Andrew, I absolutely agree but unfortunately there wasnt much detail in the jeans anyway, they were almost white for the lower 2/3rds. I did try to darken it but regained almost no detail.

Photon thanks for your comments I'm not offended at all, I asked for the critique and btw pp=post processing

The difference between a photo and a picture I guess. Doesn't do anything for me, but another subject might. What would be different would be to clone out the jeans with leaves!!
