It's actually a very nice effect and I'm sure it works great for some. I would prefer to see a bit more actual skin tone but that doesn't mean it needs to be changed. Like I said, I really like the shot, the contrast and lighting.

^^^ L M A O - I would of have thought that would of have made the eyes focus in the middle of the picture (face - dress) since thats about the only thing I didnt apply the effect ..

Guess I was wrong ..

Pham, man I like those series nice and clean - how many lights did you use?

Pham,
Those are some really nice black bordered images of Tori there. ;) If you could make the sky and clouds pop a little more with some more color in post, that would be cool. Really like the shot of her in the air.

I like these but they have a real 'flash' look to them and I find that a little distracting.

Straighten out the grass, it's subtle but distracting. I'd also increase the background exposure, too much difference for my taste when there's nothing connecting her to the sky.

I love this! I'm a fan of post processing and believe it to be another gateway to achieving the artists full vision regardless of how processed it is. Check out Joel Grimes and read his blog, very inspirational.

What was your lighting setup for this shot?
