Default Anna - for her birthday

This is my little sister, turned 23 today (Apr. 30)
I've touched this up with a little histogram adjustment, unsharp mask, and added a little contrast. Shot at f/7.1, 1/200, ISO 400 at 55mm. Would a bit of warmth add or detract?

Hi,
Its a little dark. I don't see much detail in the coat and hair for example. Adding warmth will probably not be going in a good direction. I see her skin is already a bit too red so more orange might not be good. But you can try it and see how you like it - it may make the trees op a bit but i'd go easy. Compositionally, shes pretty centered. You might try a tighter crop cropping the top, bottom and behind her back. Leave the space in front.

In this one, I would have liked to see more of her face in it as it would be more of the focus in this picture being a portrait of her. Her face seems to be much smaller than the rest of her in the image due to the angle.

Warmer would be better I think to really capture that "changing of the leaves" feeling
