I like the shot. She looks very peaceful and is a very pretty girl. I don't like the red spots on her knees. Explain the background please. Is this as shot or did you achieve this in Post process?

Thanks for sharing.

well the background was in the garage and it was too distracting so i used the burn tool and used that all around her.. ill post up the original

Do you shoot in AdobeRGB colorspace?

This could be why. Photoshop is a colorspace aware application, while web-browsers are not.

Try converting them from adobeRGB to sRGB before posting them on the web. It'll help a ton.

Hey, nice shot - I really like it without the background, much less cluttered :)

I find it intersting that the reflection of her shirt on the guitar (at her left breast) make the guitar look translucent.

Nice photo and excellent job on turning a mediocre photo into a really nice one with the PP!

Great shot of a beautiful model. It shows that if you know what you are doing with PP, you can turn an ordinary shot into an awesome one.

I think it is a wonderful job of pp...the image was well worth the effort...Have you tried to burn out less around the bottom edge of the guitar to see what the image looks like if you maintained a bit of edge there??? It may be a better image without the entirety of the guitar, but just curious.... Great job....

ok... I'm still a newbie so maybe I don't know something, but I don't see a photo anywhere in this thread. I have noticed this on other threads, but it is very rare. I usually see the photos. Is there some reason I can't see the photo?
