This was from a local photo meetup where I wanted to get some practice in using black back ground photos, seeing what I could achieve with a single light setup. The backdrop was a simple black cloth backdrop with a light off camera right, set up for Rembrandt lighting if she was facing straight on.

I am interested to know what you did to finish his photo off in post. Her skin look flawless.
Color correction, some dodge & burn, very light skin blending to even out the colors. She has naturally great skin.
Thank you. I was curious as I am new to editing photos. Thanks for the reply.
A lot too processed. That's spoiled what could have been a 4*
Ok
That's your opinion and that's fine, but if you don't do any skin retouching at all for working models they won't work with you again. :)
I see a fuzziness around her like the background was painted and the exposure was brought down. it's too distracting to me which is keeping it at a 2 rather than 3. Her skin looks nice but maybe a little under exposed.
Background wasn't painted, I brought the exposure down on her because she was overexposed by 1/4-1/2 a stop (looking at the RAW now to confirm I didn't bring the background exposure down).
