This was just for practice, don't go overboard on the posing technique or her hair.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Thanks Canon 5d

Jun 10, 2008 10:18 | #3 Her skin tones look really red on here. I usually correct for color in the curves channel. Is that what anyone recommends or is there another way? She's really a very pink little girl tho. Canon 5d

Applied a vignette and blurred the bg a bit, adjusted the hue/saturation some to make her brighter, and gave it a little high pass sharpening.

I lightened them up a little and the color just came out. Other than that the only thing I did was adjust WB from the whites of her eyes. Here are a couple of edits.   Model Mayhem

I know this is practice, but in this photo, which is good there is nothing else to make "pop"?

Would you describe the lighting setup that was used?
