Some great stuff here; I'm struggling to find time to get out and shoot lately between work and editing the Budapest stuff, Hope to blow the dust off of the camera and get out soon!

Wow this is a brilliant portrait.

Wow, thanks Zulu. Shot in rental studio, three strobes, one had a honeycomb grid for a hair light. I shot some others outside of studio with two godox tt685f and shoot through umbrellas. Original raw was in custom chrome simulation but I converted it in camera to Acros simulation. Smoothed skin in Alienskin Exposure 4. Subject was dressing up in vintage clothing for an event. She really needed pearl earrings... my first rental studio session. Brought a light meter and was good to go, hit the ground running.

Good info. I think the pose is very complementary, The hat draws focus straight to those great eyes. Skin looks great, too, like it was lit nicely to fill in the lines.​

It was an experiment in "erasing" tourists. Shot at the World War II memorial in Washington D.C.:

Great set! I've read about "erasing the people" but never tried it. Might be time to do a little experimenting myself.
