I know it's difficult to make the flesh tones look good on someone convalescing from a stroke but monochrome would be a bit kinder. The composition is good but I think I would crop out a bit more of the empty space above her head. You didn't mention whether the picture will be printed or be mostly for web publishing. Will it be for close family or other uses? Overall a goo casual portrait. JB > http://www.camera-craftsman.com/Doreen.html > > I'd like feedback if possible on this picture.
