    Thanks.

    And in response to your sig, don't. I've never done drugs, but I can only imagine the jonesing for camera equipment is just as bad as a physical addiction :)

    I find myself hoping everytime I come home, that my dad has some gear he's looking to hand down to me :)

    I guess I should have mentioned, PP was involved :D

    Here's the original, straight out of camera.

    Realistically, the out of camera is better, albiet a bit flat lighting. The first one in original post needs less contrast, skin smooting, more defined light and shadowing for an "appeal" look. Keep going...it takes some practice getting the "right" look especially in post processing. The first shot has harsh light, accentuated skin blemishes, and overall near blown out highlights. I offer this observation as a help. Since you have a beautiful subject...make her so for display.

    I may have. I'm getting obsessive, and I correct little flaws, and then re-upload it. So it's possible. Which one was it? Cause I don't see any missing photos.

    Here's the whole gallery

    I think I found it Scott. I updated to the newer image.
