Bathtub/spa and flash always a lethal mix.

It looks just a tad surreal. A little over-cooked. I think it's the lack of skin texture on her face. It could be the size posted though.
Nice shot though.

TXS, lots of contrast. I am in one of these moods, the contrast mood. The skin texture is there , i will post a detail of it as soon as I am back. Possible the size, you will notice even the facial hairs..

I agree with you Hack. I think "Photoshopping" a person has been given a bad rap. We see articles all the time criticizing how Hollywood and advertisers completely retouch actors and models. I somewhat understand the critics in that context because it sets an unrealistic standard for young people to try to achieve but this is nothing new. I doubt that the the models that posed for Greek sculptures were as ripped as they're represented.

In short:
RAW=> LR5
Adjust camera profile, WB, Contrast, Sharpness in LR5
NIK pro-contrast (with my own settings)
PS for skin correction (copy layer,healing brush,invers, smart layer, High Pass, Gaussion Noise, 30% transparency)
NIK detail extraction (own settings), NIK neutral density , NIK sunlight.
That is what it takes, and only 3-5 minutes.
Post processing is nothing new, it has been done since the day photography was invented. But again it takes a technically good picture to start with.
I look at it like cocking a meal, where the salt , peper and dressing are the PP.
I've never "cocked" a meal before. Care to explain how one does so?
