Thank you much, Frank!
If I had to pick a genre to work in, casual portraiture would be it.
It's relatively forgiving, and when it works, nothing makes me happier. :)

Walt, like others have said, I think this is a great shot. I wouldn't
even have noticed that her lip was blurred unless you mentioned it.
You got her eye tack sharp, and that is the first thing my eyes go to
in a portrait. Along with the shallow DoF, it looks intentional.

So, I took some snapshots at a wedding for some friends of mine yesterday,
which of course meant that I'd see a lot of mutual friends in attendance. As
it happens, one of them was my (young) old friend Heather, who used to serve
me beer at one of my preferred watering holes. I got a few decent shots of
her, but there's one in particular that's been driving me nuts because I
really like it, but for one outstanding flaw:

As you can see, she was talking at the time I took the shot, so there's some
motion blur on her lower lip. I've done everything I know how to do to try
and salvage the shot, including softening the focus and adding glow. But
nothing seems to do the trick.
Any ideas on what I might be able to do to improve the shot by way of
glossing over that flaw would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
