Madame Adventurer Extraordinaire
Shot this series back in November when my friend contacted me one day and said she felt like shooting again. (You might remember her from here. Cleans up nicely, doesn't she? ) Finally got a chance to finish processing them all and wanted to share my first shoot post-McNally.

Minor nit is the smudge on her cheek is over smoothed and it looks like it was PS'ed on afterward. Though perhaps she is so stylish, even her grease-marks are feathered....

I bet she loved these!
Shame you couldn't have gotten her IN that airplane with the hat on (or did you and I just didn't see them all?)

Who is McNally if you don't mind me asking?
Jeff, et al, interesting about her eyes. I didn't do anything to them beyond brighten them, but it seems as if she has a slightly lazy left eye. I have never noticed that before. Did some work on #3 to make the natural occurrence less noticeable. Next time I shoot her, I'll try shooting her right side. Something I should learn to see as I pursue portraits, so thank you for pointing it out.
I didn't, mainly because I didn't have a good base plane image to accomplish that. All the plane shots are composites, and the planes were photographed long before I had this series idea.
Joe McNally, lighting genius.
Entertaining and fun concept! Tremendous execution--you did more than just pay attention in Joe's class.
Regarding the eyes: it looks as if a couple of the selections for the brightening could've been feathered more. The transition is hard-edged and mechanical, rather than organic. #6 is the most credible in this regard.
Eyes are difficult for me also that is why I just recently ended up buying Portrait Professional (<cite>www.portraitprofessional.com)</cite>. It has a masking outlining tool to identify the eyes and then refines it from there. Much better than I have been able to do manually. I also like its skin textures better than Portraiture (<cite>www.imagenomic.com). </cite>Now you can probably make Portraiture do exactly what you want but Portrait Professional was simpler and quite a bit cheaper...
