 This is an idea I saw somewhere, so it's not mine. Threw it together last minute.

Thank you all for your comments. I really appreciate them. I had the idea and had bought the makeup for it several days before the end of the challenge, but I kept waiting for a cloudy day for a nicer background. One never really came, so I shot it on the day of the due date and uploaded it with a few minutes to spare.

The soft natural background and the strong flash seem to be at odds with each other. good detail and tones.
