This has been my favorite assignment this semester. I had a blast going with the group going to Virginia & Nevada Cities in Montana. Good Mood Swing was practically perfect right out of the camera. I made some very minor color tweaks (until the replace color work, of course). Forlorn was horribly overexposed, but her expression and the composition was perfect. Luckily, I had a picture from the same spot, so I matched the color to Yearning For Pa seen in the following post. After the detail came back, the effects of the cold became apparent on her face . . . red nose, veins and goosebumps, so it took some other enhancements to get it finished. Snow Angel was also almost perfect when shot, but there was some blemish removal, color enhancement and a bit of skin smoothing done.
