Portrait

Another very strong image, Javier.

I have very much the same small points I made about your other postings; the hot-spots from the flash, the hair fading into the dark background. I've corrected those as well as a tiny bit of burning down some of the cloth. I've also taken a bit of yellow and red out of the skin.

My biggest complaint is the space above your subject's head. You seem to have left that in to get the eyes to follow the rule of thirds. In this image, I would forget about that rule as it results in a weaker composition. I have seen too many strong images ruined by the photographer slavishly following that rule.
