This is Ingunn Sigurpalsdottir who was kind enough to model for me during this session for this shot and also my "Off-Centered Subject II" challenge. I didn´t really take this shot with this challenge in mind, we just got together and took some shots and afterwards I just thought it would fit so well with this challenge so I went for it.
Was going to use some fill flash for this photoshoot but then the lighting just got really good so I just packed away the flash, this is just lit with ambient lighting, early morning.
Very little editing with this one, don´t wanna get DQ again :) Cooled down the WB and increased contrast in .raw conversion, shadow/highlights, selective colour do decrease the colour in her face, curves to increase contrast again and finally sharpened after resizing.

Beautiful girl...looks oversharpened though. Great picture for the theme. Nice composition although I'd prefer if she was a tiny bit more to the left in the shot.
Beautiful! Love the softness in her face and the wonder in her eyes. The background couldn't be better, excellent lighting. Best portrait I've seen to date.
