Except for resizing and conversion to sRGB.

C&C Welcome (especially from Jimmy D!)

A perfect example of when you get the exposure and the shot right, you don't have to play around with photoshop (or any other program for that matter).

Great shot. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Absolutely beautiful! Not so sound like a fool but im a still a newbie. What is sRGB?

sRGB is the default color space for the internet. Standard Red Green Blue.
There is also aRGB, or Adobe Red Green Blue developed by Adobe.

This might offer a better answer than I can.

Just to follow up, color on the web is not as robust as print color. The advantage web color has is that light is being pushed through it versus print where light is being reflected off of it.

sRGB is the palette that the web uses. There are numerous palettes you can use for print but the most common commercial palette is CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black).

Finally someone asked a question I knew the answer to! Whopee!

Furthermore, finding places that print outside of CMYK is pretty much impossible.

I'm impressed! Moreso since it's PS-free! You might try using some white bounce board and/or a reflector on the "fill" side of her face (per my image below) but that's less a criticism than a simple "how i usually do it" statement. Great work!!! It feels good when you get those kind of results straight out of the camera, no?

And in the below image, you can see the subtle filling of shadow (not completing filling) the reflectors produce. There's very, very little PS touch-up done on this image of Aurora... just a bit, but hardly any at all and virtually no skin processing.

(I can't seem to get the images to display... dunno why. but that's why they're posted as links.)

Jimmy!

I seriously honored man, thanks!

I looked at your image and saw the angle you had the fill reflector and now it makes sense. I'm hoping to shoot tomorrow in a similar light set up so I'll play with it.

Just so everyone knows, what I was looking for was a clear definition of her back eye, cheek and jawline. Once I got those I didn't really care as long as it was a gradual shift from light to shadow. I'll pay more attention to the rest of her next time. I know it sounds silly to say that you're not paying attention to a beautiful girl sitting right in front of you but I get that way with my lights.

What a hopeless geek!
