I hope the water was warm for her, looks like she was submerged for a while. :) Really love all of these!

You are, indeed, fortunate to have such a remarkable model. The model is fortunate to have a photographer who can express his appreciation and sense of her so sincerely and tastefully.

I really like this one. Each element works beautifully: the golden hint on the hair; the blurred background; the shallow dof; nothing over, or underdone, in the black and white conversion. Of course it helps to have a beautiful model, but this piece of work is very well crafted.

Beautiful portrait. I love the glint in her eyes and the colorization.

Thanks for the comment. I'm going to play with levels a bit to see if I can get the background to fade a bit more.

And I think the photo is better for the work you did. Stunning shot and great post-shot work. I can only compare this with my memory of the original but if I thought that the original had much room for improvement I think you nailed it here. This photo is a strong composition and carries with it a range of elements from tack sharp eyes to well-defined hair to creamy, soft skin with a nice unobtrusive background blurred out of competition with your subject. I think either would be strong examples of a good portrait and just from your own word and my memory I have to think that this version is also a testament to your work in PhotoShop.

Thanks for sharing this,
