Pretty model. Have you considered a blue tone? I hope you don't mind. I like the original but was curious as to a blue tone.

It's a self-portrait, so thank you. And I liked the bluish version. Very "blue moon"!

Oh, that is you! Didn't correlate with your avatar. Well now I'm embarrassed[emoji21]

Yes, this is a nice over-the-shoulder, glamorous pose. I know you said you wanted it to look Hollywood, so I took a few minutes and did some minor Lightroom work on the background, and then tried to make this look like a studio publicity still from different eras. I worked on the face, the shoulder's highlight, the dappled shadow and light on the shoulder, and the main mass of the hair, and the color toning.

Hollywood, 1919 look

Hollywood, 1935

Hollywood, 1953 look

As far as actresses, your look in this has shades of three in their prime:
Susan Hayward, Cyd Charise, Hedy Lamarr.

I don't get it. Where's all the subtle statements on post-war morality?

I liked the tree. I just think the sepia one is a little bit too tanned. Not that I don't like it, but I think for that time It would be I little bit paler. Tks for your comment and for the fun!
