 This was taken in a large cavern surrounding a lake. The lighting was very soft and diffused as this was taken around 10am. The editing was mainly dodging and burning and then playing with the saturation. I found the model, Kayleigh, on Model Mayhem.

Great portrait, Claire. This has just the right level of sharpness in just the right places, and the brown colour tinting is perfect.

The sharpness of the face and softness of the arms and legs makes it look like there is no connection between the face and the rest of the body.
