thanks everyone. still learning the software and am very inconsistent. first shot saved jpg right from DNG file this resulted in a low res shot. Second saved as Tiff then jpg, better results.
An admitted over sharpener, so I will cut back some.
Fill flash used on both shots, camera's built in flash.
Will try to open up the lens. used 50mm f2.0 so I have room to open it up.
Damn Brit if only we could get the girl to stand straight. She is tall 5' 8" , and she always slumps her shoulders in an attempt to hide the height.
Thanks BethC, a proud dad also thinks she is beautiful.
here are the originals I worked from.
