Making good use of window light

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've posted anything here. I've been super busy.

Here's a shot I took of my friends daughter Sandra. Comments and crits welcomed.

Good shot! I find the blanket by her left foot a little distracting but that's just nit-picking.

Hey Matt,

great to see your work, and I think this is the first time i've do a people shot. This is really wonderful! What PS process did you do to get that warm sepia tone?

 

[Digital Matt]

Thanks everyone

I just did a channel mixer to convert to B&W, curves adjustment for contrast, and hue/sat for the sepia, with settings of 25 hue, and 20 sat.

USM of course as well.

This is a great photo. I love the shadows. Kids are great when you can get them to stop posing.
