Lighting:
Shot thru a rinflash (ABR800) with a moon unit softbox straight on.
The camera was set a F11 @ 1/200 sec at 100 ISO
Processing:
1) Levels at red, gree and blue to find whites and blacks at each channel
2) Curves to define white and black
3) selective coloring. I darkened the yellows in the hair
4) removed imprefections and smoothed skin
5) Dodged the highlights on her face and hair
6) burned the darker areas of the hair
7) burned the wall to add character.
8) sharpened the eyes, lips and wall
she looks like she might try to kick my a$$ if i'm not careful. i don't find the wall distracting, rather a good counterpoint to her expression and make-up.
Not sure if a tall tight and narrow crop would suit this one better. Unfortunately I read Ghouls comment first before viewing the shot I am now looking at the wall. I wold not have picked this up myself but I think he has a point
Lovely model, great pose, and the lighting is good as well,
The only thing I'd suggest is moving the model a bet forward to have the wall a bet out of focus, the wall and the model seems to have equal amount of light, I would try to darkent the wall a bet .. maybe try also to add some blurr to it to make the model the only thing in focus ..
My own humble opinion .. cheers,
