Agree about the focusing. Looks like they are focused on the wall, instead of her eyes. It may just be due to the sharp detail in the pattern on the wall. One reason I dont care for small images in digital cameras, it makes it harder to focus on the eyes. So Id use a zoom lens, with manual focusing and zoom in on the eyes.
Like # 1 also, a closeup of her face, focused on the eyes could be dyno-mite. Personally feel the paint is distracting. But that is my personal taste only. If it seemed like there was more "reason" for it, like paint ball gun shots, that might be different, but could cause bruising. :violin:
