Phew, I'm glad it's not just me then! I guess everyone has something(s) that they always notice, for me I guess it's multiple catchlights! Much improved for the change Vikas. Phil

Vikas, I like this better than the other one of your sister. I think it is the eye-contact that makes the whole difference. Still, I think the pose looks a bit unnatural and strained. The angle of her face is great, as is the hanging hair, I wouldn't want to change that, but I would like her body to have a more natural and relaxed angle in relation to her head (rotated counter clockwise, from the point of the photographer and viewer). Maybe this could have been achieved by having her lean her body a bit forward, assuming she would have something to lean on (not necessarily visible in the photograph). BTW, the cloning-job on the catch-lights made for a great improvement, IMO. --Olaf
Thanks Phil and you are right, multiple catch lights are distracting, I should have noticed them but was 2 in the morning when I was post processing this shot and guess I was tired. Thanks a lot for pointing these out. Cloning done. Cheers..... Vikas.

This might just be me, I've had this problem before - multiple catchlights in eyes just don't work for me. In this case, they are so strong in her left eye they are quite distracting. Phil
