 Been wanting to take photos of my daughter in this clown suit for ages. Finally got organised, actually for a shoot for a competition, and was there with everything setup, so took some seated portraits of her at the same time, with my new home-made softbox.

Editing is a home-made HDR recipe at 20%, minor cloning, HSL, levels, D&B, resize, Luko sharpening. I had originally edited this with a texture overlay, but SC couldn't give it the green light, so I re-edited without the texture. It doesn't quite have the rennaisance painting look of the texture version, but I think it comes pretty close. :)

This is a little spooky - maybe because she looks almost wax like.

Great lighting, color and detail. I wish this was either bigger or a tighter crop so the detail could be appreciated even more.

Maybe it is just me... but this is random.
GOOD random though... it gives this portrait a unique spin and creative twist. Great shot
