Beautiful! I'd be tempted to do a crop that removes the shoulder and everything below it, though. It has a fantastic "billboard" quality to it (and I'm only partially sure I know what that means...)

Thanks for the comments.

The main tip about the processing here is that hair is really hard to remove. Everyone has little baby hairs all over their body unless they shave rediculously. I spent ages on it removing all the fine hairs, and then wasted my time because I added blurs! This was the main concern. Pro models do a lot of hair removal, but this was a friend so I couldn't ask her to go all spikey for the next month...

The curse is the detail cams bring through.

Heath - love the image but would like to see more detail in the dandelion, it would IMO add a greater graphic detail to an excellent image.

That looks absolutley magnificent! Brilliant work!

Agreed. I'm thinking burn tool on shadows....

Great shot. It would be interesting to see what the 'before' photo looked like too.

Wow! Very lovely. Excellent composition, focus and post processing. Keep it up.

Cheers,

Great shot!..Could I ask that dandelian and model were photographed at the same time?

Somehow she seems to be not blowing hard enough for the petals to fly?

Thanks mate.

Yes it was photographed at the same time, and yes it does look effortless and thats why I like it.

Ok, I'll be honest, there was only one flying until I created some more!
