 I took this photo in my apartment utilizing a seamless white backdrop about 6 feet away from a full wall window. It had rained in the morning so the combination of the light coming through the clouds and the window created the wonderful soft light. Processed in Lightroom with just some skin softening, color correction, added some vignetting, added a border, re-sized, sharpened & saved for web.

Lovely pose and nice lighting, looked fantastic from the thumbnail but the actual image quality doesn't look as good. I'm guessing oversharpening from a slightly soft original?

He he. My wife's name's Maritza but she doesn't look like this. But then again I don't look like Brad Pitt either ;-)

Great pose and lighting (would have loved a little better focus on the eyes). Her smile is magical (so let her know). Perhaps you could have removed some stray hairs under Advanced Editing but a great shot regardless. 7.
