 My Wife (again - I'm amazed that she still puts up with me).
Exactly what I was originally going for. Wasn't really happy with it, until I processed it.
I like the overall feel of this image... hope it does okay :O)

pp:
convert from RAW
crop
curves
selective color on the mask/eyes/lips/ribbons
cloned out wrinkles/blemishes on face/eyes/shoulder
more curves
dodge & burn for highlights on hair
cloned back some blownout areas on the mask

hope it's not too bright - feels almost high-key

Beautifully done; a shame that the eye looks a bit fake. Overall, a very strong shot.

I like the colors of the face and mask but the white area seems just a hair blown out

My onl yproblem with this one is the big reflection in the eyes. Other than that its splended

striking shot - really strong.

Love the detail of the ribbons picking out her mask, her lipstick, and her hair.

Only tiny nitpick is her eye looks a little odd . .

But that won't stop this getting in the top ten :- )

Beautifully taken.
