The first portrait on Imagology and I'm not 100% happy with it, primarily because I'm stupid and shot it with too high an ISO and I rushed taking little more than snapshots. This striking girl caught my eye with her amazing hair extensions and was kind enough to pose for my camera in the middle the street consequently I feel compelled to post it.
This took a fair amount of post processing to get it looking half way decent, including Noise Ninja to take away the excess noise. If I thought that I could shoot her again, I would delete these and wait until next time.
Addednum
This is a different crop (I tried everything to salvage a good picture) of this shot here and there's a shot from a different angle here. I swopped the photos around becuase I agree with Jyospeh and Beth.
Canon EOS 20D, 50mm, f/2.2, 1/500Sec, ISO 800

Spot on perfect! Love the expression what an excellent capture this is, well done Stuart!
Now that is a colorful character. It is a nice shot regardless of the rush you were in to take it. I have the 20D too and have taken one too many photos before checking that darn ISO that is set too high
No matter the post processing, This is a great portrait. The subject itself takes control of the image and makes it work. Well done!
Btw, I liked your other crop with just the upper head, I'm partial to crops like that.

Whatever post-processing you had to do came out well. I like the pose and expression and, of course, the headwear.
