here you go, a lovely red head - phworrrr
 
 
 
 
I had originally taken these without any lens filters but fancied trying to make them a little softer so in Photoshop (a guide may follow if wanted) I duplicated the original layer then on the new layer set the blend mode to overlay and added a slight guazian blur. This has the effect of adding vibrancy to the colour whilst evening out the skin and adding a little softness (something lacking in this sharp digital age!?!). Then a quick layer mask to remove the blur from the iris.
Hope you approve

I'd always approve a buxom young wench. 
Her arms look a bit burnt out in several of the pictures, so much so that they sometimes disappear. Was that intentional?

| its the current vogue but also never lose 100% detail on my calibrated screen. Your eyes probably don't cope so much with contrast these days.... ;) |

I can see all the muck in the gaps between the floorboards. Why don't you clone it out?

| they are there by design, I really got fed up with a totally clean white background, the floorboards really help break down the shot and help give orientation to the subject. |
