Deliberately overexposed.

beautiful shot....
the background works very well.
Depending on what you are going to do with the shot, I would remove the jab mark from her upper arm and scar from her lower arm.

Lovely high key portrait Arthur.

Nice skin tones, though I think the portrait would have more impact with the modelstaring smoulderingly back into the camera.

I would have also been tempted to stand the model away from the brick wall that adds a good feel to the image but needs to be a little more OOF to not occupy as much viewer attention yet maintain that feel.

Do I comment on why you overexposed this shot or the beautiful woman. PS I like the jab mark and scar it is part of her individuality



LOZ

Great shot, Arthur. Nice subject and background works well here. Overexposure compliments the background colour.

Where do i send the Mail order???????

Arthur, well my computer has died so on the laptop and well looks a bit bright but looks very good on here anyhow, where do you find these beautiful girls???

Very nice even with the wall being the way it is. Well done.

is it the makeup, lighting or the jpeg conversion but her skin looks like clay....

Piro i agree and have seen this before but not sure as i on the laptop so yeh i am not used to looking at pics on this.

Nice shot but I agree with LOZ - the jab marks and scar are part of who this woman is. I wouldn't remove them IMHO.

Beautiful shot - agree with the jab mark and scar removal!

Thanks for all your feedback. The colour is off due to the faulty LCD monitor.

Hi Arthur, this is a great shot. Sharpness is fantastic etc. I must comment on colour correction. This hasn't had much as I can see. My own opinion goes like this.
Digital colour from DSLR's to myself seems washed out, and doesn't hold contrast well at all. My own industry experience over the last 25 yrs tells me this fact. Having owned a DSLR for over a year now realisation has come to the fact that skin tones are incorrect on a basic standard.
A lot of factors come into play as most know, IE W/Balance, Lighting, Colour temperature, etc.
I would say most skintone images, that are colour have a pasty look. To state the obvious, without PProcessing the images will look washed or more of a pinkish cast.
The fact is, Skin tones lean more towards yellow than pink no matter the nationality. Magenta or pink tones in skin look flat and bring no depth to an image.
Contrast enhances an image as well. Magenta or pink tones look very much like undercolour removal gone wrong.
