Earlier in the week I posted a photo of my wife for C&C. (http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/people-photography/280590-how-would-you-crop.html)
I haven't had time to reshoot yet but here's a different photo from the same set applying the post processing suggestions received (I think). I brought out the fur wrap and the hair, cropped as suggested, applied a lighter background, adjusted the WB and lowered the exposure/brightness.
I am aiming at the classic American portrait studio style often used for high school graduation portraits in the 60s. This was my wife's era but she couldn't afford to have one done back then. The skin is fairly heavily processed (hey, we have 7 grandcildren!) but have I over processed given the style I'm aiming at?
She may not be sweet 16 but I think (I'm biased) she's pretty sweet for 60.
