Hi Yvonne, I think this photo would look better if you were to crop it just below the hands as the head looks out of proportion to the body, You could also warm it up a tad to remove the slight blue cast.
The other two pics are nice.

Ok, Dado - I could try that. I did a black and white version also so I'll post that as comparison. Thanks for your comments. Smile

Thankyou Dado ! Yes, its always going to be difficult with anything white. The conditions were not ideal - indoors, no external flash, snatched photo but I think overall it worked. Thanks again for your feedback, I'm going to do some portrait work for a bit so all comments are welcome as this is a new area for me. Smile
