Very natural-looking portrait (she seems very comfortable and at ease), and the fill-flash is seamless. Very nice!

Thank you so much Hal.
All these tricks I need to learn.
It's really quite attractive and
can be coloured to fit the photo.

Dear Bob, Mickey, Sue, Andrea and Wendy
Thank you so much for your kind comments.
This was taken down near the lake.
A little fill flash as the peak was darkening
the upper part of Leanne's face.

These borders are quite easy to do, Wendy.
Pull an oval selection around the subject.
Invert the selection and fill with the desired colour.
(from the cap as Andrea noticed.)
Invert again to get back to the oval.
Choose a lighter colour and Stroke the selection. Edit-stroke.
I used scatter not a solid line for the oval surround.
Remove the selection and select All.
With a darker colour stroke again, choosing "inside" and quite high
pixel count for the broad line.
This gives the darker border.

Absolutely beautiful. He does
make a wonderful model and you do
have a marvelous knack for portraits.
Do I see a career happening here :)
I'd love to know how you did the
framing & BG as it works so well.

You have a knack for portraits. I'm sure it's come with much experience. You've put it well to use here. I'm sure she's pleased.

I like the framing you have done here, it wqorks well picking up the colour from her headgear. She makes a lovely natural model, and is obviously relaxed in front of the photographer :D Andrea
