I like this, its cute, I'd suggest playing around with a close crop, keeping the same effective.

Gee the colour in this seems "strange" to me? It's almost got a moonlight sort of light to it, or is it what I've been drinking :lol: It's pm, so I'm allowed a red aren't I??? Any PP?

Great shot though, agree with the suggested cropping.

Very, very cute. It has a slight blue cast for me too, I like it, thought it was intentional

Andrew,

Just the one?

Yes, this would look great with a much tighter crop.

I'm not sure about cropping in much tighter though as I'd feel you'd lose the curve of the tree branch and the lines of the fence.
Also the extreme blue cast looks a tad odd.

I feel that Tai/Redline has had some influence here :)

This is the original image (no crop) with my girlfriends face and arms isolated (left natural) and then a major boost of hues was applied to the remaining image for a story book look.
I'll try a crop but I set the pic up to show the way the tree branch curls over as if to embrace and shelter, while the fence provides a grounded balance that, I think, adds character to the garden. I'll post a few more later!
Thanks for the comments peoples!! :)
