a beautiful photo :) i love the lady's eyes and expression :) the colors are great, very pleasing to the eye and the richly blurred background really makes her stand out :) your placement of the main subject lends a great deal of aesthetic appeal to this photo :)

i would really appreciate a note with your photos :)
