This is a scan of my second wife (Denise, and now my best friend) - I would love to know what members would suggest to make this ’different’

Chris - this is a natural pose...I like it. Why would you want to make it different? Perhaps some vignetting maybe?

What I would like to do is amalgamate suggestions and then produce a final pic from from ideas submitted.

leigh can help you with this one, perhaps he could help you apply a more dramatic highlight and shadow contrast treatment to this image
and perhaps crop it tighter as i think the arms don't do much for the overall image

You are twice lucky first that this lovely woman been your wife and secondly that she is still your best friend. What don't you like about this photo I would be happy just the way it is.

I think there is a touch too much light on the left side of her face. Maybe a tiny burn would reduce this, but otherwise the shot is fine.

I think it needs to be re-lit and had curves adjustments applied to even it out.

How about blurring the background slightly?

I'd be looking to make the background... particularly on the left of the shot (a kitchen or laundry?) inconsequential bordering on almost not there.
You could also most certainly look at rebalancing the lighting a little although I do not always find that resulting in an improved photo.
