Jay,

Great shot and tasteful treatment in post.

The only thing I can't figure out is who's hand is that? Surely it can't be hers because it would have to be her right hand on the left side of her face and is that her knee that the hand is resting on?

I've been looking at it for ages but just can't figure it out.

Very nice image though. The question doesn't detract from that. It's just my curiosity.

Regards,

Peter

Thanks Peter It's her right hand curled up and around like she is doing a curl with a dumbell or something. I pretty much tried to duplicate what was on the cover of the magazine and that was the pose the model was in I went pretty heavy on the Post going for a bit of a glamor look.

Best,
Jay

She must have some great flexibility in her arm and wrist because I've been trying to get that same position for the last half hour and my hand looks anything but natural like that.

Regards,

Peter

I haven't seen this either, but the eyes are spectacular! In truth, though, I have to agree with peterst6906, I couldn't tell whose hand/what body part.But those eyes.....

Peter, If you do a curl and touch your right shoulder with your right hand, then just turn your head into your shoulder while lifting your shoulder up, it's pretty easy Not the most comf to hold for a while though!

Best,
Jay

Sorry to double post, but I keep coming back to this. At your level you really have to look hard. If this is more than just messing around, then I would also add that her hair has a few straggles that almost make her look like she has a few upper lip hairs that could be cloned out for the final print. Again sorry to look so close, but for some reason it grabbed my eye.

Don't be sorry Pat I appreciate you looking so close and your right here hair was a bit on the frizzy side when we took this. It was pretty much right after work and her hair was up all day. She wanted to get it all dolled up, but I said don't worry about it's just for fun

The lip hairs need to go though!! I didn't see those till you pointed them out

Thanks again,
Jay
