2.26 - "Needs Work" 

More of a business style portrait taken XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 @ 230mm f6.7. Originally shot outside in the shade, Photoshop was used to change the background. Other adjustments involves removing stray hairs and white balance. Sharpened using the Topaz plugin.

I think the biggest problem with this is that it's pretty obvious the subject was removed and placed on a different backdrop. The lighting on her face is not harsh and it's a nice enough portrait, but too much photoshop can be a detriment.
