Great shot, but I'd remove that twig from by her eye.

Cheers Tim, shows I'm not a true professional like you because I never even noticed it! I have spotted something else too - there's a tiny amount of bra cup showing behing Michelle's hair on the left as you look at it - should this also be cloned out?

Well spotted with the cup, yes I'd clone it out and also fill in the bit of skin showing with some of the dots as well, as a small chink of skin can be distracting.

Fortunately I don't really have problems with bits of bra cups showing

I've cloned the twig out now on my version at home and it is much better. I might have a go at removing the bra (so to speak); I hope this won't get misconstrued by anyone, especially my wife!

Love this shot, i didn't notice the twig at first, but i like the sharp contrast of the model against the pale green wood of the tree.

Yep, the master is right.
Love the natural V shaped frame. Try a square crop (it's obvious where it should go.

I'd like a go with that lens!
Best wishes,

Andrew
