I have three shots left from the Bodygraphia symposium, this one, my favourite (which is quite similar to this shot), and Libby's favourite that I'll post last.
And I guess there isn't too much that I can tell you about this one other than to say that it's another portrait of Iva and that it was processed in Lab Color mode rather than RGB. It's a colour space that I've neglected recently, but when you really want to control the colour balance of an image it's definitely worth switching from RGB. If you're unfamiliar with Lab Color mode, take a look at the further info pages for my two Lab Color mode tutorials, both of which are linked below.
Thanks for the links, I'll have to investigate Lab Colour - something I have heard much about but have neglected until now. I look forward to seeing the other photos of Iva.

Katy: thanks :)
Miles: it's definitely something you should try - it's a very powerful way to edit your images.

I like the treatment as I mentioned in the next entry. Perhaps a Mini-psd, since most of the mini-psd are RGB based. It might be worth having another LAB file.

Oh, and as you'll see if you take a look at the original, I also skewed the image slightly as I wasn't entirely happy with the original composition.
