This shot has been seen before but with a different editing. I edited another photo similar to this and was told it would be a good idea for this pose with that other editing. Hope it was good advice!
Levels, crop, color adjustments, usm, neatimage, blur, vignette
The title really... really escaped me on this one. There is this word I want to describe what I was going for the whole shoot and since the shoot... months! I have still not figured it out. The title started as Fallen, then Distressed. Now it's Listless though I almost chose Languor but I thought that was a bit much. Anyone wanna help me out post challenge I'll be so grateful.
I was going for overworked 40's type housewife that has baked a few too many cookies and cleaned up after an unappreciative family and is just done, checked out. Exhausted. But that's noth the word. LOL. Ok I wasn't really going for it to look like that, it was just the inspiration in my head for my poses.

I love the feel of this one. Regardless of other comments, I find the processing and the forced look of her pose quite effective. Seems like the kind of thing that goes unnoticed when nobody's paying attention. I dont know if it's the crop, but something keeps leading my eye out of the picture. It may be the white cloth in the bg..
By the way, I like your lighting techniques on portraiture.
nice idea, but it still needs work. the dof is out of balance and that doesn't add anything to the image. the pose is interesting, but a little forced. the colors and lighting are very inviting.
The face looks far more processed than the rest of the image. That certainly draws attention to it - it's a good pose and expression. But the rest of the image seems too flat. Although I like the choice of outfit and the couch. Has a retro feel.
a wonderful, dramatic image...a stunning woman and a beautiful dress...my only neg is the background wall and the thing over the couch...but other than that, she looks amazing 8
good shot, I'm not a huge fan of the post processing. It looks like the image might have been good without the 'relief' that it has. Good shot though, none the less.
