I just cannot get over the pose, just something off about it. I just feel the shot does her no favours and puts her in a bad light, I know it is very subjective but I tried to see the positive side of it but I think it is a very unflattering photo. I have looked at all the different edits and the are all about the same and she does not come out looking good in any of them. Looks forced the pose I mean and the whole look of her just seems like she was not thrilled about getting her photo taken and put no effort in makeup or her clothes, almost looks like a bad cardboard cutout. I think the idea is great but the end product is just lacking. I know she likes the pose from what I read but I would say we really need to do a reshoot. I hope I don't come off too harsh but I just cannot see this in a good light. I shoot a lot of women these days and I do not care if they like a photo, if I don't it goes into the trash. People think they may look good in a photo but if you are the photographer it is up to you to say well you may like it but I don't and that is all there is to it. I feel I am the judge and jury of any photo I take and it has to be to my liking and that is all there is to it for me.

I'm kind of with AL on this one...her forced pose and poor lighting makes her look old and is unflattering on her neck.....it's the first place my eye goes...to the lines on her neck....sorry.

I have to agree with AL and Casil, however your 2nd edit Mellowinman is much better than the original.
