Another Congolese woman. I like the softness of the colors, her expression,etc.

Basically, here's all I did with Photoshop Elements 2:



1. Ran Dodge tool on the whites of her eyes to bring them out of the shadows. Her eyes are gorgeous, by the way.



2. Added a Hue/Saturation layer and adjusted saturation.

Master: +9

Cyans: +17

Blues: +8



3. Applied an unsharp mask to the background layer: 20/50/0.

I cropped and added a contrast mask. Also, reduced brightness almost 1/4 EV. Some dodge and burn.
