Kim,
This one really makes me smile. It's such an unusually cool pose and composition. I like the delightfully warm palette you chose. It really has that "southwestern" feel to it. The masonry work in that arched walkway is tastefully rendered. The play of light is excellent.
This interesting and lovely woman appears to be an individual anyone would like to just sit and have a cool beverage with outside under an umbrella discussing any and everything.
