 Not really a ton of post processing. This portrait is in a style I am quickly claiming for my own.

Basic adjustments in Lightroom 2 (including crop)
Then Portrait professional to smooth out the skin and hair.
(Yes I know it's smoother than most would like, but SHE likes it and so do I!)
Back to photoshop for resize and save for web.

This new look is what I'm going to use in my Inner Beauty gallery show. I can use it to hide what a woman doesn't like about herself and show just what she does. This lady's eyes for example... Breathtaking, and there was no color adjustment!

Here's hoping I can finally find the right formula for DPC.

A very effective portrait that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.
