Comment by Artyste:
I have to wonder about the comments you're getting for this lovely, serene shot. Processing is a little heavy, but the challenge almost called for it. The girl looks just a little bit older than traditional "cute nude" shots allow, although I care not about such things.. but DPC is well known for witchhunting this particular subject. Kudos for the conviction to stick with it, as it *is* a very touching portrait. What I particularily like is the almost metallic sheen of her skin. Usually over-smoothed looks like this are tacky or so fake as to be off-putting.. but like I said, in this particular challenge it works.

Good luck.. my highest score, as I'm a sucker for a cute face (as my portfolio will show).

Cute! She has possibly been Neat Imaged a little too "out of this world" but I like the glow around her

I'm guessing the 'glow' on the skin is to supplement the otherwordly radiance of angels. I'm personally not a fan of the effect. I also feel the foreground leaves near her elbow are a little distracting.

The effect couldn't be more perfect. She's luminescent. Love this.
