Thanks for the comments , I meant to ask if the highlights were not to bright (hot) ...

Seems it is fine as is

Cheers

Hi Armando

Yes, anyone looks good with a good hat, it transforms the image... The difficulty is often to avoid the heavy shadows it creates on the face, and you did so well here!
The highlights are fine for me, maybe I would like to see a bit more contrast on the face, or simply deeper tones as well as the highlights.
Or maybe not... This is a beautiful picture of a fine lady, congratulations.

Armando, your portrait shots always impress me.  I think you have always addressed the potential issues in the best possible way before you post any images.  This one is no exception.

Very nice portrait. You seem to connect with your model and the camera does not get in the way. The hat is icing on the cake.

Great Armando!
Think a little overexposed on the nose and right cheek, though.
