 This is a Sarah Outtake from the Dec 2009 FS:



Photo specs:
1) done in a liviging a room
2) I used 3 strobes. Two infront at 45 degrees and one behind above her at 45 degrees hitting her head from the right.
3) I shot this at F-8 and a shutter of 200 at 100 ISO


Processing techniques used:
1) did levels at each channel (RGB)
2) DId curves to find true whites and blacks
3) did selective Coloring and darkened the reds a little
4) Dodge the face and hair to show more of the lighting on her face and highlights on her hair.
5) dodged the eyes
6) dodged and burned the scarf
7) saturated the hair a little.
8) Burned the background to hide the background
9) Sharpened the eyes

Beautiful eyes and colours.

It would be interesting to see this cropped slightly differently - if you were to move the bottom border up to just below / level with her bracelet it might give it even more punch ?

Maybe something like this ?
