Congrats to the winners! And wow, 2nd place! So exciting I hadn't even made the top 5 till this week!!

I must give credit to my lovely subject though... she's been showing up in a LOT of my pictures lately! hehe.

Thanks for the gold guys, it's much appreciated! I'm glad to see there was a better turnout than last round. Hopefully it picks up even more as it's nice to see others work.

tommyinla: It was lit with a SB800. As far as how I lit this particular one...I should probably keep a log... I'm pretty sure it was fired from below. I did about 50 different shots but judging from the shadows and highlights I'm pretty sure it was from below on this one.

As for the color... I used lightroom to start with the blacks and exposure but the saturation was done using the "LAB-curves adjustment layer" technique in photoshop.

Congrats, guys!:beer:

I shot this with a Pentax 50mm f2 that I bought on ebay for $25.
