Cee Cee,

It is very stunning! I think it is sharpened too much though. But what a striking model!

I think it is sharpened too much though. Me, too. WAY too much.

I love the colors. I love the pose and the cropping. However, like everyone else I think its oversharpened. And I also see fringing along her extended arm which leads me to wonder you imported her from another photo.....which is fine by me, but if thats what the fringing arises from, then there are some things you can do in processing to get rid of it.

Yes, it's sharpened too much.
That aside this is a stunning shot, I love the composition, the model is beautiful .
Take it back to the basics.

Thanks guys

Well i must admit that I agree with you first of all - though its tough ;-)
That aside, I spend more than 4 hours on restoring this from the "beyond repair"-folder..... it was nearly underexposed by 4 f-stops - very little to work with. A lot of noise - i tell you !

But by working with it in 16 bit and mangeling it through a lot of processing - this was the best I could possible obtain.

To CDickinson : the girl was at the photoshoot - so she is not imported ;-) Fringing was a result of my work in PS.

But thanks for the critiques - i know now that the composition is good - and that does it for me.

Take care
