Challenge: Balloons (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
Location: Bedrom
Date: Apr 18, 2010
Aperture: f/6.3
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/100
Galleries: Portraiture, Children
Date Uploaded: Apr 18, 2010

 Had to update this after the challenge started as I uploaded this picture 2 minutes before the challenge.
Not an easy setup by any means,
Strobist:
1 Alienbees800 camera left 45 degree lowest power.
1 Vivitar 285HV camera left 60 degree gelled half CTO to give warm color to the skin.
1 Vivitar 285HV camera left in an umbrella 1/16power for full.
1 Canon Dex II behind the canvas for back light set at 1/16.
All triggered wireless via Cybersyn transceiver.

Post Processing:
I tried to get it all right from the beginning so nothing much is done.
Open sRAW in Adobe CS4, add contrast, warmth, then Level, for more contrast and masked out the body, dodge the white areas and the eyes, blur the skin a little, neat image, USM, add borders and save for web.
I hope you like it as much as I liked working on it.

I love the idea and the execution. Great model! However, I think your choice of color for the border detracts rather than adds.

Nicely composed image, but the frame totally takes away from it...I think it's the color.

Nice colours.

That is darling but I really think the off color red borders don't suit it. I'd stick with white or black, or none at all. She is a cutie.
