 This is my wife Henny so I hope for your sakes I don´t get any nasty comments or I just might have to send you a computer virus.

Lit with a single Bowens esprit 500 with a 60x60cm softbox. Not used to work with this powerful lighting, had to use a 103 ND filter to be able to keep the softbox close to get this lighting and maintain a large aperture of f2.8. Afterwards I regretted that, I should have used a slightly smaller aperture to keep the mouth in the DOF but you live and you learn right?

Minimal post processing, just raw conversion, curves and selective colouring to make the blue a bit darker and finally sharpened after resizing.

I like the cleavage, expression, and clear focus. It contributes well to the title 8

Wonderful expression. Says it all ... and then some. Maybe a bit over-exposed.
