Thanks for the heads-up, Charles. Go ahead and give it another shot if you have the time.
Flickr "has the hiccups" according to what the site said when I went to check
my permissions settings.

BTW, here's another, less blurry shot of Lovely Heather.

Worked the second time around!
I basically like the image, but the skin tones seem a bit "flat". I'm not
sure, maybe if it were larger it wouldn't come off this way but did you apply any NR or
other smoothing technologies to her face?
She's definitely got a nice look - glad you got her to let you photograph her!

Thank you, Charles.
I did soften the focus a bit in post as the B&W conversion brought out
some minor blemishes that weren't apparent in the color version.
Although, I should point out that the color version was flawed in the
way you mention, which is one of the reasons I converted it to B&W. It
was underexposed and the white balance wasn't right, so I had to tinker
with the curves and desaturate it on top of it being a fairly severe
crop from a hastily taken shot.
I really do hope she'll let me devote some actual time to shooting her
one day soon. I think she makes a wonderful subject.
