first, repost the photo and click "store original" block on the right so the meta data will come with the photo and a full size jpg

Its really hard to do much without both.

Of course from what I have I cannot tell for sure but first thing is make sure your getting plenty of light, enough so you dont need a flash would be ideal

Not to be too critical, the background is distracting. Needs bokeh.

I agree, I changed the background, I also went into the camera
and checked out some filters and changed the white balance.
Which I didn't know you could do. Tell me what do you think?
I enjoy you guys and your input.

Thanks Kmgw9v, I don't mind. I'm not a smart man. See if this is any better.

I am an amateur as well, but I think it is much better.
