Love the shot and gorgeous model. I've just had a quick 5 min play softened up a bit in photoshop for a more glam look(not to everyones taste).

I set the black, white and neutral points.
The CMYK numbers look good.....

The main problem wasn't the color.... it was a tad under exposed... without having the RAW format, I brightened it up a bit, added some contrast, kicked up the saturation and made the eyes pop a little more, too.... they were too pretty not to play with!

My favorite edit of the bunch. I'd love to see what you could do with the RAW file.

The original image is underexposed and there is no vibrancy. Adding some curves, contrast, saturation, and sharpening should help out significantly.

Here's my quick edit. Used Imagenomic Portraiture plugin in CS2 (sorry for the jpeg artifacts!)
