Hello Michael, I just wanted to note that I voted only 2 stars for this image of yours. I think the others are really great in all aspects -- only in this one I think what could be worked on is the left arm, which shows a different skintone than the rest of the body. Shadow? I´m not sure, but Í am sure that you could fix it in post. Cheers, Heiko

Yes, it was very dark and undersaturated out of camera so I did a split frequency re-toning, but tried not to go too far. Perhaps I’ll have another look since some time has passed now since my first attempt. Thanks very much for your feedback; cheers!

Hi Michael, a split-frequency re-toning: that sounds very interesting. I´ll have too look up that technique. thanks.

this is a great shot. I agree about the arm. I think you could probably just throw an adjustment brush on it and add some green tint and add a little warmth since it seems to be skewed a bit magenta. probably a very easy fix.
