Would love a little critique on this shot. This is an old one that I just dug up again.
No specific questions, just asking for your thoughts and opinions.

Thanks.

Autumn

EXIF:
Shutter speed - 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture - f/2.8
Focal length - 35mm
ISO - 200

Other info:
Taken midday
Sun straight overhead
No tripod

PP:
Boosted saturation
Boosted contrast (curves)
Dodged and burned eyes (very little)
Sharpened eyes
I think that I adjusted color balance a tiny bit (it was a long time ago though, so I don't remember)

It appears her face is a bit out of focus.
I do like the pose.

I wanted a narrow depth of field to draw attention to her eyes, but I see that maybe it was a bit too narrow now.

Thx

I too think that the depth of field is too narrow. I think it's the out of focus lips that bother me. Overall I think it's a pretty cool shot.
