Beautiful

Indeed beautiful.  It seems you were using a circular light which causes the feet and the hair to lose brightness.  Her hair disappears into the black background.

I tried using a reverse setting on a lighten the center filter to see if I could compensate.

Jerry,

I used the light to create the effect on purpuse.

Thanks for your visit.

She's beautiful and poses beautifully as well. I like the skin tone and the shadows with just the right softness. The dodging, or whatever it is on her hair totally obviates all of the good qualities, IMO.

Your image of this beautiful young lady is absolutely fine. I have to say though, Jerry may have a point. When someone is so beautiful the more clearly we can see more of her the better.

Jerry and David,

It is especially for You. Tonight I will post a perfectly clear image of her. I will only try to dim the sofa a bit. Both of you may have a point. I spend some time making sure that her toes are visible, that her arms show no strain so it only makes sense to post it in full glory.
