Challenge: Free Study 2009-06 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-50D
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Location: Mason Studio, Santa Barbara, CA
Date: Jun 8, 2009
Aperture: F/2.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/50
Galleries: Portraiture, Children
Date Uploaded: Jun 19, 2009

 This photo shoot was so much fun! I hardly had to give her any direction, only to turn to the light and not block her face with her hands. Other than that, all the poses were her ideas. I'll upload more from this shoot once the challenge is over (hopefully I'll have internet at home again by then). There were so many nice shots from the shoot, but I like the softness and tranquility in this one.

Prediction: 5.7-5.8

Editing (Camera Raw and Photo Shop):
- Adjusted white balance
- Upped Exposure
- Clarity
- Upped Blacks
- Upped Contrast
- Sharpen a little
- Spot healed a lot to soften a few harsh shadows
- Crop
- Burned catch-light (left eye), eyelashes, and pupils
- Dodged catch-light, whites of eyes
- Added border
- Save

================

Dang, fell short of my prediction.

Border is a bit overpowering. I like the high-key look.

Great job. I wish her left hand weren't cropped though.
