Taken this morning before she left for work, in front a a huge picture window, warm morning sunlight entering directly. I didnt like the warmth and almost sepia feel that was obtained from the light and the tan wall behind her. Her look was a bit more introspective, cold maybe. As if she was mentally already at work. I played with the color to cool the shot down a bit but I was too cold. So I played with the levels to warm her face. I liked the blown highligts on the left of her face, creating almost two personas.

Comments welcome!

One more thing of note; original corrections done in RAW 16 bit and then compressed to jpeg for web at 85 quality (8 bit). The color degredation wasnt significant but noticable. lbg
