I cropped the picture, desaturated her skin a bit and added a little pop to her eyes as well as get rid of the dark circles under them. There were a few miscellaneous touchups as well like very slight skin smoothing and blemish removal but she has almost perfect skin so that wasn't really a big deal.

Next time I'd open up the shutter a bit longer to get a white background and not have her slouch. Need to sit up straight or even leaning back. Think dynamic lines. Dynamic lines are usually diagonal.

My experience? I have an opinion and I shoot people hehe.

Thank you.
I did nothing to the picture, just posted it without any editing to get peoples takes on it.
I shall add some exposure to the background, or extract her to make a new one.
Thank you, I will let her know about the skin comments :P

thanks mate
