so i have done a few of these before and constantly get emails for more…ask and you shall get ; )….plus i wanted to show you one that required more editing bc the exposure was not good….first the shot then the workflow

iso 160 ss 1/320 fstop 2.2

shot with the 5d mkii and 50 1.2 shot in jpeg (gasp)

first adjusted the exposure using levels (i much prefer to adjust levels over curves)

added some yellow to even out the blue tones from being a little underexposed and in shade

bumped saturation

used patch tool to make mosquito bites diappear and under eyes

cropped

sharpened and voila!

here are the others
