Cam settings:
70-200, f10, 1/250 shutter, 200 iso, auto wb, raw

three lights here:
2 in the back for rim
1 beauty dish for main, boomed over camera
and a reflector under the chin
light grey seamless backdrop

PP technique:
fixed exposure in lightroom
high pass and smooth skin in photoshop
vignette in lightroom again

Model:
just a friend, not a model, dont judge her. i know...she looks sad :meh:

My critiques:
clone out loose hairs, a little hot on the face

Looks a little too bright to my eye. Skin texture doesn't look natural at all (looks like vinyl). Color also a bit weird.

This is why I don't like digital.

I think it could benefit from a little more control over the light. I like the placement, but think that using some flags to feather some of the harshness away and perhaps give more depth?

I also don't really like her expression. Not because it's too sad but because it is a little flat and boring IMHO.

Her face is just a tad too bright in my opinion; other than that very well done.
