Don't ya love the tack-sharp focus on the eyes and the blurred background - and of course the shallow depth-of-field.
Processing: Lightroom with a touch of Noise Ninja using Convert to Smart Filter so that the effect was only applied to the background.
We made the picture, asking Paula to pose in just the right light, hold the wine glass up to her mouth, turn her body and look over her shoulder, and give us a certain "look."
Making pictures is what we do here on the workshops - and what we encourage photographer to do.
Go out and make some great pictures this weekend. Share them on my flickr group: Creative Eyes and Minds.
