This is one of those shot that I did not particularly like.
I've been playing with some post process and it's kind'a growing on me.
What do you think? Thanks!

I like the composition and the pose of the model, but i think you got a bit to much space above her head. The pp i think is a bit to much, the skin does not look like skin.

Well, it's definitely not for everyone, processing and other artsy stuff is subjective anyway.

Dave Hill does a lot of processing to his photos yet a lot of people are trying to imitate it. Now I'm not saying I'm trying to make a dave hill attempt. It's just a process I've never done before and I'm kinda liking it.

Composition can be improved a lot I'd give you that. Anyone else? Thanks for the comment by the way.

I really like the transformation from before to after. I mean that's awesome post-processing.

Personally the photo itself just tells me "Crap, there sure is a line to the lady's bathroom". But that could just be me.

And seriously speaking, I could see why the photo is growing on you. It looks way better, more like what you had in mind when you hit the shutter. As said above, the rest is rather subjective.

I like it. The pose is great. I agree that there's maybe a little much space above the head. I like the desaturation of the 'after' version. I think that the significant increase in contrast is a good move, but doesn't work as well on the face and right arm (particularly the hand).

It's hard to strike a balance, but if the contrast could be eased off in those areas, add back a little color, it would probably appeal to me more (subjective, eh?). I think the picture is worth the work.

OK so I incorporated the comments and suggestions here and I'm wondering if you guys think I was able to salvage this photo? Thanks!
