The plan was to let each of several of us photographers work with this model, but I never got a chance to do so. So instead of having the benefit of the use of the strobes that were in the studio, I shot this at ISO 1600 and used just the modeling lights!!!
I gotta say this, ISO 1600 on the Canon 20D rocks!
- Converted from raw
- Increased contrast
- Used history brush to bring back detail in eyes
- Reduced saturation in whites of eyes (too much red in her left eye), then lightened the whites a couple of notches
- applied a softening filter to reduce but not eliminate texture in the skin
- reduced size for dpc
- sharpened
- added white border

The title doesn't add much to the image, there are a couple of white spots in her hair that are distracting, and the image as a whole feels neatimaged. I'm also distracted by the difference in color cast between the hand (which feels a cooler pinkish) and the face, which has a warmer glow. 6
I'm unfortunately not fond of the photo at all. I find the subject lacks interest and the photo is either blurry at the top(hair) or the reflection of light on he hair gives it a blurry look. I'm also not fond of the eye make-up or what appears to be an ear ring (or collar) on the right beside her cheek. Good luck in this challenge.
