I fully expect to get hammered on this, for not only the post processing, but the subject. BUT she is wearing a gas mask and that certainly fits the challenge.
Model is my beautiful daughter, we were at the fire station to get a background shot for a firefighter's calendar that we publish next week. This one wasnt' the one choose, but I loved the look on her face, and I think the post processing brings out the somberness of what these true heroes do for us.
Post processing was fairly simple a little raw, NI, Luko's, NI again, and poster edges. Then a simple resize and save for web.
Expecting 4.5 hoping for 5.5

I like the concept of this, but the processing is a bit overboard, in my opinion. Also, I think a closer, lower perspective, would help to show the little girl better.
This looks really overprocessed, nearly posterized. Maybe you intended it that way, but it's not to my liking. I would really like to see this without all the processing. I think I would really like it, especially if the feet were included.
