Yeah, Jim's right.
I seldom even notice such things. I look at the woman's open and direct look, the inkling of a smile- and I'm happy.
I guess it's partly because I'm a street shooter, and subconsciously ignore little imperfections.
Perhaps I should be more technically concerned?
Nah.
I like the shot, Bob.

Thank you Jim, Charlie, and Yudhi. I am so anal about getting catchlights that I never consider that they may be too complicated. I was a bit unhappy with the hot spot on her forehead.

Note:
I PMed Bob, mentioning that I had done a quick edit trying to deal with the "hot spot" on Trina's forehead.
He replied, "Go ahead and post it."
I only did enough to indicate what I thought might be done; not to make a finished product.
Using simple procedures (that's all I know ):
1. Lassoed the hot spot.
2. Used brightness/contrast sliders.
3. Used clone tool, set on about 20, to blend-in the edges.
So here it is: the original followed by my quick edit:

I look at this and think more about her. I see a sort of half smile and I wonder what is bringing her the sadness I see in her forced smile expression...her eyes are crying all versions....
