 Taken at my first camera club photoshoot, but this pose and shot was all my work. I really like how it turned out. Great location, and we had some reflectors which were so amazing to shoot with! One more thing on my list of things to buy. Oh, and I want one that comes with an assistant. :)

Editing was saturation boost on the surrounds, dodging, burning. I thought about darkening the little block of wood on the doorway, but I don't think it's too distracting. It's just part of the shot. That straw is just killing the filesize, so I had to drop the quality down and use some selective sharpening to fit in the filesize. :) I think the selective sharpening looks nicer anyway in the end.
