Challenge: In The Style Of: Heida (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Pentax K10D
Lens: Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF
Location: South Florida
Date: Sep 4, 2009
Aperture: f/9
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/500
Galleries: Portraiture
Date Uploaded: Sep 4, 2009

 Open in ACR, crop in PSE7, dupe layers for each: Topaz Detail micro contrast for sky, skin smooth for model, Topaz de-noise, shadow/highlights, burn clouds, flatten, resize, add border, and save for web.

The model is my daughter, Jessica. Shot in natural light with cloudy sky as background. She was a very good sport to stand on a bench so I could keep the trees out of the bg.

The sky is almost there, but not quite. To much shadow in her face too.

Harsh light on her face is not very appealing, IMHO.
