This photo was over exposed, so it wouldn't work in color, so I did some contrast editing and desaturated it. A little dodge & burn, cloned out a few skin imperfections (stray freckles etc.) a tight crop, unsharp mask and neat image to finish.
This is very beautiful, both the photo and the model. Nice editing, the only thing that I would have liked differently is maybe lighter lips. Otherwise, great job!
Perfect is right - WOW! This is a wonderful capture!!! Nothing to say except keep it like it is. Watch out ribbon seekers for the 'Color Portrait' challenge...if this was color! ;^)
