I'm wondering if I should throw this one out? She loves it, but I'm not sure if the focus is good enough to not be embarassed when she posts it on social media ? I'd love to know what you think.

Yeah, sorry.  It's gotta go.

She should never have seen it.  https://www.damiensymonds.net/dont-show-it/

Ok! Thank you for! Painful lesson on always continuously double checking shutter speed/settings while shooting...

She's not a client, she's my Au Pair. She knows I was practicing and experimenting during that shoot (and failing here and there obviously). The other 2 seniors I photographed during this Parachute/Senior session received a soft proof gallery with images I doublechecked before sending out, and where I was 100% sure that I was in the safe zone. ? 

I've read this article of yours before, very good point. Makes total sense, and is a very important reminder.

Just thought about this again. 

Even though she is not a client and more like a friend, I will still have to break the bad news to her, have a slightly uncomfortable conversation on the topic, and on top she will be disappointed and probably even a little sad that she will not get this image delivered. I could have spared both of us from this pain by checking/culling first and throwing everything out that's not good enough. 

So, yes, thanks again for this great reminder!

Offer her another shoot.  She's gorgeous, so she'll look great in your portfolio anyway.
