Thanks for all your input everyone. I just returned from a lovely retreat and am anxious to get to work on your suggestions.
Linda, thanks for the crop photo. It is what I shot the picture for, just to do head and shoulder, but I loved her casual pose with her leg and thought it could be an interesting compostion too - I think it gives her image a "carefreeness". I saw the post about thinking "a head", and I am sure you would be surpised to know that I actually planned this out, but think it might be stronger with the background. I know it is a rotten way to look at it, but I thought if it didn't work I'd just trim it down anyways.
Off to investigate/apply suggestions. Thanks again!
