The colors are great. You've given the sky some great depth. Nice work.

The changes are well done and a good choice to go with sepia look. her eyes really catch you looking around the image. well done.

Thank you all very kindly.

Roz: wow, good call on the facial markings. for the first
shots we couldnt keep her away from the grass. she just kept trying to eat it, which would make those marks a cross of dew and grass stains (with some naturally fair skin). lol

Ann: i strongly dislike the UI of CNX. However i think it gets the best color from the nikon dslrs. The only adjustments i usually make in CNX is a dark & light control points (according to histogram, highlights, & shadows) and possibly a control point or two. so not much to know!

I'll give it a crop and repost just for curiosity, your's and mine (i didn't think of it before, thanks for the c&C).

Originally posted by Art Roflmao: Steve - was viewing one of the others in your series and this thumb caught my eye again. I think it is worth salvaging. I did a quick retouch on it and uploaded it here - you will see the retouched version, mouseover to see the original. I tried not to go too "plastic" and left some of the lines around her eyes that I think actually are a positive attribute to her appearance. A little cloning & healing on the chest, cloning over the random hairs and a little liquify/reshaping of the hair as well. If you worked on the large version, you could probably come up with something better. I don't know how you feel about retouching to this extent - if you don't care for it, consider this my own exercise. :)

Beautiful model and a good shot.

Art, how did you do the left eye? it changes the image quite a bit. also, can you elaborate on hair pp?

Well done Steve.
