The Au Pair

[Fotogreen]

I would appreciate if you could tell me how to improve this image. How shall I crop? What kind of PP would you do? I am confused.
Thanks.

This is just a couple of my cents, but here's how I would have tried to improve that photo.

1. The shirt and the right hand is too over-exposed. If I had to PP it, then I would try to recover some of the highlights.
2. The photo is slightly crooked. I'd straighten that.
3. Slight midtone clarity and definition increase might help bring out the features as well. Maybe even a bit of contrast. (this is strictly my preference, I like strong, saturated, contrasty pictures.)

i noticed that she is pregnant... so i think thats important to her... i'll crop a bit of the top background till it reaches her head, not touching but a little... and crop the down frame till it nearly touches her hair that was on her pregnant belly to show the viewer focus that she is a lady who is pregnant and happy...
i like black and white photos, so i might put it as black and white... make her happiness timeless...

i love your shot... has a nice feel and good composition too...
