My daughter, Lauren, standing against the wall in our courtyard. This is way more editing than I'm used to, but I thought it would be a fun experiment. I desaturated the colors by varying degrees from 10-20%, then boosted the contrast. Then I overlayed a high pass filter layer with boosted contrast and a bit of a faded blur. Cook at 400 degrees until golden brown.

Thanks, Marac. :-) Thankfully, we've agreed that she can start dating when she turns 30. Still need to break that to her at some point...

A closer-in shot of torso and head might've made a better portrait.

I wouldn't have noticed the new suspenders, I noticed the different colors of shoe laces :)

certainly is unique, lol. She looks like she is ready to stomp on anyone who'd dare to make fun of her outfit. "What did you say about my clothes??"

I think the colours work well here, it's an interesting shot and very different to a lot of the other entries. Well done
