Default Amazing Gazing

I guess I am looking for some lighting critique. It was a spur of the moment shoot and we had not light left so no reflectors or flash, just natural light. Had to do some PS effects to lighten up a bit. Does this image work? (As usual if you see something else you want to comment on I would love to hear it!) Thank you.

Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1250)
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 200

I think this is quite a good image, perhaps more light on the subject would've been even better.
I see that you did actually have some light in there, if you managed to shoot at 1/1250 at f/3.5 ...

She seems a little dark against that background, and the reflection gives her skin tone an odd hue. Very pretty, maybe move her just a little more to the righ, not much.

Default Ok, thank you

Sorry I thought we could do that as long as it is not in the same category. Still very new at this. I appreciate your feedback. Please remove this if necessary.

I deleted the second posted thread of this image from Share Your Shots. You posted this thread first. The rule for cross posting is at the bottom of this page.

This might be just me, but she looks almost computer-generated. I'm not experienced enough to know for sure why that is, but I'd assume it's something you did in post processing... sorry I can't tell you more than that. I do like the composition, vignette, and blurred buildings in the background though.
