Thank you much for your critique. You are absolutely correct in your assumptions throughout. I am still learning PS and have quite a ways to go yet. I do see your points and suggestions and will go back and play with the original capture. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Another way to do is with a gradient soft mask. A little change of tint will also change the appearance and mood to a great degree.
Kind regards.

Beautiful diagonal composition. A very beautiful face indeed. Excellent tones and exposure.
The image not only has signs of excessive jpg compression but also sufferes from sharpening artifacts. Did you use unsharp mask and then save for web? Using sharpening pluggins in PS results in more accurate output. Woring on a jpg many times and saving changes results in image deterioration on every step. Working on RAW, TIFF or BMP and saving for web in the last step usually resolves these minor issues. Artifacts removal now will result in detail as in the photo below.
Anyway this small bit does not decrease the high aesthetic value of the photo.
Kind regards.

lol, Isaac... small are terrible! lol! I like the grainy effect. but on second thought, yes I think it will be much better if it's soft and sharp. :) anyhow, this is still wonderful!

Thanks Larry,
Yes, she is single (and young 19); very, very pretty lady. Boyfriend if too small and cute so I doubt he will last long (lol). I appreciate your comments and the graininess was a definite mistake. I'm having issues with focus/contrast that I can not seem to get right with my D70. Comment appreciated.

Great details & angle in this portrait Isaac! Try it in B&W too. It can give your a dramatic perspective. Cheers.

this one pops right out at you. there is a bit of something on her forehead that could be cloned out and a bit of shadow under her eyes. keep posting Isaac.
