 Here I go again. Let's see if I have the eye candy formula any closer.

Model laying on her back in natural sunlight.
Used the following layers
Curves
Levels
Brightness & Contrast
Photo Filter (Warming)

Used healbrush to knock out some specs, veins that showed through her skin, an unvited little fly.

Used Topaz Detail to bring out the water drops
Copied the layer
used Topaz B&W Effects then set B&W Layer to Lumonisity
Rotated to portrait to show off more of her shape

Fret for 7.66 days.

Great subject, with so many little droplets. But I'm not fond of the darkness that feels artificial.

Not a fan of the editing, it may have helped make the drops more prominent but to me it makes her skin look dirty which takes away from the shot.
