Excellent capture. Wonderful pose. Lighting and color great..

Perfect timing, good use of light. I might play with the contrast a bit?

Thank you both for your comments. In retrospect , i would have played with the shadow and curves more than contrast. I dont like straight contrast +/- because it will either darken it too much or make it appear to flat. I was justing browsing my portfolio though, found i didnt submit this one yet, and decided to put it through to see how it would do adjusted like this.

Just FYI. I never use the contrast sliders either--I use Levels or Curves.

Like it as is. But also wanted to play a bit with it. How's this?

I like it. What;d you do, saturate it?

Just curves adjustments, besides the added canvas and the cloning, of course. Went the opposite way of the usual S-curve, that is; I raised the curve above diagonal on the left and lowered below on the right. Regards, Dieter

Cool, thanks for the details.
