I think that's an artifact of the sharpening and other adjustments in
Lightroom. I've got variations of this shot with harsher and softer
bokeh, but this one had just enough edge to it to fit her personality.
I did shoot a bit wide on this, but at 80mm and F4, the image is very
close to what your adjusted version looks like.
Also, keep in mind that the sun is behind and shining through the
trees. This type of light does weird things as compared to reflected
light. Each highlight is not just a lit object, but is acting like a
light source.
Regardless, for the final version of whatever pictures she chooses,
we'll go nuts on processing.
