Just a test shot I did with a friend.
Color is desaturated on purpose. Not sure how it looks on my uncalibrated monitor.

7d 15-85mm
2 x 430ex

I think the desaturation works really well in this photo but the lens flare or whatever splotch that's left of her face ruins the picture, I would also like to see some detail in the hair that's above her left arm.

+1.., and maybe a crop at the bottom up to the shirt..

My mistake on the flair I'll put a lens hood on it next time, I'll try and do some Photoshop magic, how do you suggest what I should do to get more details in the hair

yeah I tend to agree with Metall and she's a beautiful model... is she a professional??? she needs to be...

I've been playing and I can't get anywhere that I like. I selected the dark spot and used some tones and shadow/highlights in photoshop.

I did have some luck with the flair by selecting it and using levels to darken though.

In photoshop if this is a raw image take it into camera raw and reduce the blacks a little or in photoshop you can create another layer above and set the blend mode to screen fill with 50% gray and then with a low opacity brush paint with white in the areas that you want to lighten this works like the dodge tool but gives you a little more flexibility give it a try.

She is not a profesional, I'll mess around with the original files some more and will upload when its done. Thansk
