Supreme sweetness and grace, sentenced to endure sleaze in a vile place

Please be completely honest in your critique.I assure you, I can

handle it ...

I like this very natural and soft portrait with a colorful background and some depth through the doorway.

Is there a way (post-processing) of making her skin less green and more natural?  

Best wishes,

Mike

Mike, there is a way to change the color if you want to---it is called Adobe Photoshop--- either the full version for about $600 or Elements for $80-100.  Many photographers press the shutter and think they are done creating the image (How many cooks think their work is done when they get home from the grocery store?).  There are many tutorials that will help a person learn all that needs to be known to understand and have control of the entire imaging process.  The only thing that is needed is personal desire and encouragement from those of us who respect the skills of the digital artist.

The green skin does not work for me, nor does the bright white in the background.  I don't understand the title, especially when the subject has such a sweet smile; the word "endure" and "vile" just don't seem to fit.

Hi John,

Thanks for the tip. I personally use Photoshop Elements (and Lightrooom) but I wasn't sure whether  Genelectus Ganabrecht had a way of correcting the color. It looks like you post-processed by selecting the boundary of the girl and reducing the amount of green within this boundary (leaving the background unchanged).  

The skin color in your version looks a lot more natural but does have quite a bit of noise.

best wishes,

Mike

Most people wouldn't admit to have visited this or similar places.

I think the green light is too intense anyway to be corrected completely in post processing without an additional serious effort for removing the noise. It can be done but with really good tools.

And maybe the author never had the intention to correct it: just to present it as-is. I'm sure there is more here than just the technicalities. No, I've never been in such a place and it is hard for me to judge.

But I must admit, I'm also tempted to try a "correction" just as a technical challenge. Without doing such a good as John in removing the cast, I tried to reduce the noise to an acceptable level without destroying all the details...

On the other hand, I like her expression: is really suggests sweetness and grace.
