While I think this is a fantastic photo, I think there has been selective editing applied to where the forehead meets the hairline (visible in hi-res). It looks like a solid black curve has been applied to unify the line of the face. I think this is against competition rules.

between last step of SBS and fintal image i "work" 45 min with make up artist to create that line but this is other thing
I am sorry, but I still feel this should be disqualified. I am a stickler for rules. Not even a black piece of card would make such a solid defined line. This is selective editing.
That's pretty cool. VERY nice lighting, exposure etc. with a pretty model. But is that "make-up?" I'm not saying it isn't, I just don't know (I've never worn it)
author says:
You should try it, LOL, but bevel me, there is a lot of other makeup on that face, foundation, eyeliner, lipstick etc. Nobody looks that good in the raw.
Nice photo, I don't like the editing though. The diffused affect doesn't suit this photo, also, her skin is quite blotchy
author says:
By diffused, are you referring to bright white behind ? The only editing done was slight adjustments to saturation, exposure brightening and clarity. Without selective editing, this seemed the only way to soften the leas then perfect teen skin. Suggestions welcome
the saturation blotches the skin, it look like you used a diffused filter on it, but that's probably due to all the other editing. The selective editing would have been better, this editing doesn't flatter the photo at all. The saturation definitely needs to come down.I would increase the contrast as well, and to be honest, you don't need perfect skin to have a perfect photo. I've taken portraits of dirty faces that were beautiful. Perfect skin is just societies ideal
author says:
By blotchy I assume u mean the harsh peach on forehead - and I can understand u seeing it that wat but it's actually makeup. The original purpose of this shoot was with peacock feathers and the blush accented the peacock feather. In this particular shot it does look different (as in not as good). Selective editing would be nice but alas against the rules.
@ dem90....if the author chose to do selective editing, yes...it would maybe have made a better image, but! it's aganst the photography rules here and if found by one of us Mods...the image would have been removed...
@ Author, fine image and entry indeed....well done IMHO, and bonus points for choosing to do the 'right' thing and stay away from violating the rules of the site as a trade-off for a slightly 'less-than-perfect' image...As far as I'm concerned...this is a great image, I favor very hi-key and low-key photos, this is a great example of hi-key portrait.
Nice one
