Only my second real attempt at high-key. I think it turned out better than my first attempt. I guess the voters will tell me how much of an improvement... LOL

Crop
Selective layers of color sat/curves, exposure/lighting, dodge/burn brush, clone brush, & blend brush
Neat Image

Re: Lighting...
I used existing overhead flourescent lighting in my office, natural window light, halogen desk lamp on side, Sylvania Sun Gun flood lamp (that my brother gave me used), and several reflective white boards to bounce light. I tell you that whole place was lit up like a Christmas tree - I could hardly see! ROFL

I gave this a 10 during the challenge but didn't have time to comment as I was traveling. The glasses are a nice touch. What was your light source?

I must really like your work. I gave this one an 8. I though the high key may have been a little overdone, but the subject and position of the composition I found interesting.

I'm not fond of the over exposure or the excessive softening of the facial features.
