2.16 - "Needs Work" 

Taken over one of the canals in Hamburg, just after it had rained.
The clearing clouds gave some nice diffused warm light from the top right.
On the left of the Frame were multiple large Windows that bounced the light back onto her face.

Shot with a Sony A7RIII with the Sigma 105 f/1.4 @ f1.4 1/400 at ISO 100
Love that piece of glass for the pictures it takes, but hate it for the weight.

Edited first in Photoshop for some light skin-retouch and the in Lightroom to get a bit more contrast and depth to separate her a tiny bit more from the background.

I love so much about this, I just feel like there's a weird pinkish cast to the image. Maybe too much magenta? Otherwise just really great composition and lighting.
