Went out west to see family and also had a visit witha dear friend of mine. I finally got a shot of her without her hat or sunglasses on.
Did some PP to this (used what I learned from Rodney Blair on the eyes)and took it originally in color. Shotwith my Pentax *ist DS and 28mm to 200mm Tamron lens. |

You shouldn't tell everything. If you hadn't mentioned doing anything to the eyes, I would have never known. They look very natural.
This is a nice shot that you should be very proud of. See what it looks like after a little levels adjustment to increase the overall brightness and a tad more contrast. How do you like the Tamron...Looks like it is a sharp lens. Rodney |

Point taken Rodney. If I may ask I would love to see how you would edit this. I actually want to make a print of this for her. Itis to celebrate her one year of remission.
Thanks for your comments. I do like the Tamron lens and I did take some action shots of my cousin playing soccer the next day and was pleased with most of them. Still learning and loving this hobby. |

You'll need to do the adjustments to your original because too much of the hair detail is missing in web size version.
I've given it a little boost for comparison though. The darker background areas will be less distracting if you selectively brigten those areas a tad. It doesn't need much. One year of remission is certainly a good reason to celebrate. She looks great and very happy too! When I downloaded this image, my thumbnail was in color. Do you have a magical camera? :-) Anyway, the color version looks good too, but I'm very fond of b&w. Rodney |

That's why I said "don't forget", as i'm sure you were aware, but maybe forgot :-).
