NOT a fan of basic at all. To me it's like telling an artist to paint something beautiful but taking away half his colors and most of his brushes. Perhaps in the film days it made sense since not everyone had access to a darkroom but not today, not now.
Anyway... The image was cropped from a larger full face full torso shot. I think you have to look for interesting crops if you want to make an impact in basic. Especially when most images end up looking somewhat flat no matter what you try. I played around with the shadow/highlite settings and adjusted curves, levels, hue/saturation and color adjustments. Hope everyone has an amazing holiday season!

this is brilliant even with the basic edit .. another amazing qart with your luscious model .. the camera just loves your family .. you lucky buggar !! ..
i'm really starting to believe that we should have a personality test to become a voter .. obviously many of them have very serious disorders ..
its like allowing a blind man to drive a bus ... the results could never be ideal .. !!!!!..:)
I sooooooo agree with you about basic editing! I see no point in it whatsoever.
But I think this is quite impactful. I love Susan's high key look against that rich fur. But you're right, I can only imagine what you would have done with this with all your colors and brushes!
really a fantastic shot. very vogue, very commercial. would love a little more color in the face so its not so porcelain looking, the contrast takes the eye away from the subject, the texture in the coat... and hoping this is fake fur. "Fur is Murder"
