"do you have a 85 shot of her for comparison showing the compression difference?"
I'm sure I do, but I never processed any of those images. They were the first few and they just weren't right - made her face too thin. It's also the reason not to have just the 85 or the 135, but both and a 200 as well, although the 200 would have been too long for that dressing room. Even though I have two different versions of the 70-200, I still prefer the primes in these situations.
bloody hell, M Powered. those are out of control. that model has an incredible look, and you did a great job of creating some real gravitas in those images. just amazing.
