 This is Maurieka, whom I spotted a day prior to the shoot. She is 18 years old, 6'4 and has a look about her that reminds me of a softer, more ethereal version of the world's first true supermodel, Veruschka.

Shot outside in natural light, camera on tripod. Had to back camera up quite a bit to get a full-length shot of her as she's so tall, then come in closer and shoot up!

pp: RAW-TIFF conversion, rotate, crop, cloned out some lagbolts in the siding, brightness/contrast, resize, usm, sharpen(?) save for web

Nicely done. The cool green background does a lot to accentuate her skin tones.

Overall, a nice shot. Some thing that I would suggest: having her move away from the building, and using a shallow depth of field to blur it out of view.

Background color dominates a little, and her hand seems to be in an awkward pose, looks as though she was in the middle of saying something.
