Javier, nice photo.
The one thing I noticed is the position of her left hand.

Another nicely done image Javier. Getting the light under the hat is always the challenging part with a shot like this and you have done that very well.

Two comments on things that strike me:

1. Cutting through the hands on the bottom of the frame is never a good idea as it draws viewer attention there. A little more care in framing the shot to avoid that issue.

2. The camera left (and small parts of the camera right) arm are in shadow. That should be corrected during the shoot and in post.


The retouch is far from perfect, but the small image posted here is not ideal for that type of work. You can get the concept though.

Manfred, thanks for your comment, but I dont understand your last comment. Could you explain me please?

Look at how dark the camera left arm is in your image; the skin tone is very dark and I find that looks strange and distracting. I tried to slightly lighten it so that it stands out less.
