You are right about the title and date. At the time It seemed to be a good idea , somewhat glossy and artistic. I will keep your comments in mind, thank you.

Congratulations.
However, the title and date could use some help.
Try editing it with Picasa .... it's free.

To add to the comments already made which I agree, I think it would be better if the title does not touch the subject's hair.

Impressive; very well done. I'm expecially impressed that the skin was not 'placticized' in post processing. The eyes are extremely well done. The only aspect of the shot I would have liked a bit different is a bit more sharpness in the rest of her face. Regardless, a really good shot. Congratulations!
