 The model, my sister (not available guys), was doing her whole "I'm cool, so I am leaning back!" kind of pose.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a very strong distance between the subject and the wall, so the boka isn't quite as strong as I would have liked it to be.

I used Photoshop Elements 2.0, for post-processing. I used Auto Levels and Auto Color Correction, then ran the image through Neatimage to reduce the noice and followed that up with a touch of USM, cropped and saved for web and here you go.

This was shot in a low lit restaurant along with my Sigma flash point up almost completely towards the ceiling.

You captured the spirit and personality of the subject, but the background is really distracting.

I like the photo so the next words are just little things that might help but I am just an amateur so ....

the girl (you?)is leaning to the right it seems, perhaps better more upright or from a slightly different angle.

the background doesn't compliment the gorgeous auburn hair

seems a bit noisy and a general sharpen up could make it better ( at least worth trying)
possibly crop just above her top and balance at the top of the pic.

Just my thoughts and I really mean it when I say I do like the pic! Well done!

Darling model. I love her freckles. The picture in the background is very distracting. I'd like to see a solid backdrop so you only focus on her face!
