My good Friend and Model Sienna OMP#260465 MM#171128 Sitting in a jacuzzi after a long photo shoot.
Light is from the sun shining into the window shade slats, good news was there was also a mirror behind her which reflected on camera right.
Work on image was extensive but only within the rules of advanced editing.
USM, Levels, new layer, selected high contrast rgb layer, levels, surface blur, levels, stylize find edges, levels, Gaussian blur, inverse layer, levels, usa, select green rgb, return to main layer, usm, inverse selection, Gaussian blur, deselect remove working layer, cropped, re-sized, save for the web. That's all. LOL.
There is a great site on the web where I learned how to do that but I can't remember it right now.

I think you went a little overboard on the USM - you've taken away all her freckles and she no longer looks real. I'd like it a lot more if she were less "refined".
I am afraid the title has gone right over my head... That aside, I find the style and processing of this portrait quite harsh. I am fairly certain that is the effect that you were going for, which means success, but it is not an effect I personally like. The play of light and shadow on the models hair and shoulder is appealing and interesting, but the light on the arm and face too harsh.
amazing! I could have seen this in a magazine and it not look out of place. The only thing i'm not sure about is the eye's being closed? Excellent though - 9
The colors are o.k., the pose is nice, I don't see why some one would be wearing make-up in the jacuzzi, and I would have never guessed her in the jacuzzi if it weren't for her wrist to be wet,I guess I am just trying to connect the title with the pic, but otherwise nice photo, 6.
