This is beautiful as it is. But I would have flipped the lighting to switch from broad to short lighting.

Why? She is positioned correctly to the main light for a classic female composition. If you insist on short lighting (not needed here in my opinion) you would bring her face back towards the light.

To the op - This is a beautiful young woman and you did a great job capturing her (again, my opinion only)

Not to mention the problem with possible shadows from her hair if the key light comes in from the other side. Broad light is making her face look rounder but I don't find it objectionable.

FM seems to eat up pictorial type work. I prefer more photographic type imagery but thats a personal preference. If we want to be painters, then I say paint.

This is a beautifle photo Brent and you did her a huge favor sharing the comments her photos received.

I believe the period is 'Summer 2015' and the the dress is called something like "Hippie shirt" from the discount rack at H&M.

But it fit the tonality and feeling of the period, so I bought it for this set and used it.

Wouldn't change a thing, this is an perfect portrait of this young lady. Definitely an portrait which deserves to be printed and put up on a wall.

This is just lovely. The story is the icing on the cake, and almost made me a little teary. She is a beautiful young woman. I'm glad you helped her realize it!

I'd very much like to know more about your PP process, if that's possible.

PP is a very long process of very low opacity filters done over a luminosity and edge detail layers. It takes me about 6-10 hours of painting on a tablet to do these. I am working on trying to quicken the process and make it doable with just a mouse, but i'm not satisfied yet with the results. Every image comes out different as well - not majorly, but enough to see differences from subtle changes or different brush choices or slightly different colour palettes.

I want to be able to teach this whole process, but it's more like a sit-in-a-workshop-and-do-it-along-with-me than a quick 1-2-3 step I can easily type up and post.

What you did with your camera is brilliant. What you did for this young lady is valuable beyond measure.

Thank you for sharing the story. Obviously, this image can stand by itself as beautiful, but the story makes it magnificent. Well done.

Numfar, the photo speaks for itself and is quite beautiful...the effect it had on her life is amazing and you should be beaming both inside and out for having provided her a new way to view herself. I'm pretty sure that kind of spiritual reward is worth much more than any competition medal or monetary prize...well done!
