R.G. Loc: Scotland

This image was available for download on the internet. In the spirit of keeping the subjects varied I thought a portrait would be a complete change from the usual. Most of us will be photographing people from time to time so a bit of PP skill won't go amiss. So what better subject than a beautiful woman with challenging skin tones and in need of some PP.

This is your image this week (JPG and TIFF versions below, both derived from a raw file).

Anything goes as far as editing. Add, manipulate, twist, crop, or create a fine piece of art.

If you use some special software or action please let us know the software you used.

When you are finished, post your edit in this thread. Edits will be accepted until 9 pm Eastern time on Thursday. No edits will be accepted after that time, voting is done Thursday 9:00PM - Sunday 9:00PM. Voting will be for the one image voters like best.

Something different, thank you, R.G.
I didn't like the way her shoulders rolled inward, didn't know what to do about it other than a different crop. New crop is for an 8 x 10 print. While cropping I added some space above her head. Used the Photoshop Neural Filter to smooth her skin giving it today's "model portrait look". Last edit was to brighten her eyes.

I could get quite fond of doing this (for some reason the download seems to have more glow to it).
