 I know this will do incredibly badly in this challenge - but tough cause I like it. I love these low light hand held shots (ISO3200, f1.8 and 1/50).

Post: Convert from RAW with a little curves and a fair bit of noise reduction (only within RSP, no NI/NN). Ignored the "advanced editing" bit.

It was really a bad day!
Even if this shot captures the watcher attention there a re a couple of things that damage the overall effect (IMO). First of all, the rip on the cyan cloth is not very pleasant and it gives more the sensation of a photo collage than the sensation of the face coming out from the cloth. Furthermore, I’m finding quite hard considering it as a portrait
