You do know that photoshopped images are a big no-no here...

Ohh, Right thru the heart! This is hand painted on fiber.
There are still some of us who use a brush.
Next time I'll make sure it is noted.

My apologies...explanations do help avoid this, as it is a "hot" area here.

No offense taken. Easy to understand the mistake.

It's very interesting, and I like the painted eye. For my taste, it is a little too high key. I'd like to keep a bit more of the lower left corner, to hold the shape of the image together. But that's just me.

I agree and the origanal print shows it that way. It is subtle and the scanner didn't seem to pick it up.

I think this cropping is perfect and the high key effect does not bother me. I like the spare use of color as well. I am curious as to why you used an orange filter. I suppose to further lighten the skin tones. A really gorgeous model too. Thanks.

I have found that orange will lighten any reddish areas and smooth the skin. Unless the area is dark red. At least with Plus-x.
