Snapped this candid portrait of a friend as she sat out of a bit of cliff jumping to write in her journal. It's one of my favorite shots of her. It's been cropped and fussed with quite a bit in LR... maybe too much? The more I look at it...... Original is included as well.

I think the PP on her looks fine. It's the trees and what-not that looks a little overdone, sort of has a velvia look to it.


If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?

Cliff jumping? Is that with a parachute?
Photo & pp look nice, but I'd crop a little tighter to eliminate the left trunk altogether and trim about 1/5 off the top.

Thanks for the CC! Here's the re-crop and a bit of adjustment as per Kirk's suggestion the trees. Love it!

Also a shot of the cliff jump.

The forest photo doesn't look badly processed. The white balance warming is great, but the green saturation seems a tad excessive, and the cropped composition is an improvement. Also, sweet cliff diving photo

is it just me or is her face in the final cropped edit a little dark? I like the rest btw.
maybe in LR use adjustment brush to paint her face and neck and lighten just a tad.
Cliff jumping is GREAT, only exceeded by using rope swing off the cliff to get MORE altitude :)
