I think there are three (very minor) things I'd change if I were going to print that pic. I'd clone out the sticker, the sticker reflections in the windshield, and *maybe* the reflection of her waistline in the mirror.

i thought the reflection of the waitline was one of the best parts from a mans point of view.... but a photographers point of view, i do see your point.

So what are you saying? That photographers aren't men?

Well, ok, there is Badger to consider, but the rest of us...

I'm just saying it's an odd distraction from the point of the picture. It appears the pictures itself has been processed to have a haze too it, however, the mirror appears perfectly clear compared to the rest of the picture, it kind of draws the eye away from the subject.

I'm willing to bet that if tim took the exposure down on the mirror itself or desaturated it a bit, it would be a nice compliment to the picture rather then a distraction.

I still like the angle the mirror is showing.... yummy.

hope you don't mind time,
I softened the reflection a little, desaturated it a tad, and brought the exposure and clarity down a tiny bit to put it out of focus. just an alternative thought.

View from our room in Punta Cana. This was the second story area where our bed and bathroom were located. Imagine waking up to this view every morning! It was great!
