i wouldnt say heavily, but yeah, looks too porcelain kinda? if so I was thinking the same, haven't looked at the image for a bit, but now realized why I wasn't happy with it. /shrug
nah, not a lensbaby, faulty focus elements when lens is opened up all the way?
as far as lighting, just took the image between 10-11 one morning, sun wasn't at its peak, so some added reflection off the many glass windows and such.
Great shot! but just as everyone mentioned the head does look a bit over processed, a tad bit less and i would call it perfect but other than that its amazing.
