Thank you both. I think I might pp her ear out, as the more I look at the photo the more it is bothering me. Does the warmth of the picture look ok? Some people have said it looks a bit too warm - I quite liked it when I was playing with the white balance in RAW, it seemed a lot softer and more sympathetic than the cooler tones - should I change it?

The Mona Lisa? LOL.
