Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Point Of Color II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-500D Rebel T1i
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: Austin, Texas
Date: Jun 18, 2010
Galleries: Fashion, Studio
Date Uploaded: Jun 20, 2010

 Model: Dyann Green

Post challenge:
Dyann has skin like milk so it wasn't hard to lighten her up a bit with levels. I beefed up the red and darkened the black and left her hair pretty much the same color.

This is the original - unedited except for the sizing.

Thanks for the great comments!!

THANK YOU! :) I wondered if she was body painted white but, this explanation makes perfect sense! :) Drove me NUTS to find out LOL!

WOW...she really does have fair skin! I guess poor woman needs a 100 SPF factor sunscreen LOL! Extremely clever to have had the contrasting red and the crop really made the shot!

Thank you for sharing! :) I still say it should have scored much higher! :)

Came back to see if you'd put photographer's notes to find the placement. Should have scored higher!!! Sorry...this place is nuts at times and no one knows why or what or how things work and things don't. Shame.

I'm surprised to see this only came in with the pack. I thought it was great and it got a 9 from me.

I like it but I see so many points of colors instead of one. Maybe JUST the lips, or one nail, etc. It's still a cool idea.

Very artsy style shot and reminds me of an old poster style shot. The rules were no "Selective desat" so, it looks as though you are well within the rules! :) From the black in the front look, I have to ask....was your model body painted white?! Now, I have to know! LOL I hope that you'll share in your photographer's notes after challenge as I'd now like to know. :) Congrats! Wonderful shot! :)
