 My daughter, who enjoyed posing for this a lot.

Here she is from an earlier challenge

and here:

She does fancy herself a tomboy, however, so this was right up her alley.

There is a lot I would like to do with this that requires advanced editing, but this was about all I could do under basic.

Other than sharpening, I did what I could to push the contrast up in curves and harshened the colors in hue/saturation. Resized and saved for web.

I came back to this one to say its in my top 3- Its a bit sharpened but somehow it works with the black and whitish color scheme- great pose and send up to those world war two postcards which empowered a generation- the first "modern working woman" generation. good luck.

Wow. Great pose. Tough! My only nitpic is the oversharpening or CA along the arm and face.
