Michele,

Being one that likes to play too, and just in case you were not going to have time to re-shoot I wanted to give you to of my thoughts.

I think everyone has given you great input. I do just shoot black and white now, and it has helped me a lot.

One thing I noticed in addition to the "formal" dinning room which usually translates into busy - is there is a ton of intense color in the same value and hue which is confusing to the eye. Since she is holding the red roses this adds even more directional questions for me.

I did two simple modifications to the one you changed. This first one is just lowering the light and saturation of the background color plus dodging the shadows on the dark edges just a hair.
