 This model Jennie is just amazing... this shot is one that fit the challenge (OK I shoehorned it into the challenge) from my recent shoot with her. I have so many great shots from that shoot ;-)

Post processing - Raw conversion, convert red channel into B&W using the channel mixer, resize and submit.

* Looks like the image wasn't to the voters taste... I suspected as much. Thanks everyonefor their comments - interesting to see some people think the image is too bright and others like it. Taste and monitor brightness varies...

I took a look at the photo and read through the comments. First off, some people are more sympathetic to anything sensual or sexually related and on DPC that could be somewhat of a downfall. Needless to say I am not one of those people.

I personally think this was a well done photo. I didn't vote during this challenge, but this post-processing on this photo is great. The lighting on her body, the shadows and the composition all work well. The color conversion only enhances the photo. I do understand how some people would say it's too bright. It's not the entire photo, but only in the top left corner. The whole top edge of her body blends in with the background and you can't distinguish between the two. If you could get the brightness at the top to match the brightness at the bottom, there could be no complaints about the photo.

If anyone cpmplains about this being too bright or blown out - tell them to go stuff their opinion up their telephoto lense. I think the lighting makes the image. (ps The models features don't hurt it at all either.)
