 I got a new smoke machine the other day & thought I had to try it out. I like this picture as it shows the subject doing what she likes. Body building & fitness.
Almost no Post processing appart from desaturate. Channel mixer didn't create better results than just straight desat.

This doesn't read as much like a portrait as it does a marketing photo. The light is very well done. And the other technical aspects are also in order.

this model looks very well toned... something highlighting that tone with the use of light would have looked even better...

I like the dramatic lighting ... except for the blow-out on her left shoulder. It just pulls my attention away from everything else.
