Girl on the Beach

South Beach at Miami Beach to be specific. Decided my photostream needed a little variety as there has been too much nude male and not enough female to suit me. This was from my 2013 trip to Florida. I don't take candids of beautiful women as I used to, but I could not restrain myself here as not only was she quite fetching, but she seemed to be posing for some invisible photographer. Besides, I was actually shooting the sea gull. :-)

 

I wish she had chosen a different bikini bottom, but she didn't consult me about her attire. Any solid color, though I think white would look terrific against this beautiful Latina's (?) skin.

 

The lighting sucked. The shade was much deeper than it appears now, and against the bright background . . . processing was difficult, though a much bigger problem than the contrast was the fact that a dune buggy was sitting right in front of her. Perhaps there are programs that would speed the removal process, but in lightroom, it took about 1300 separate operations just to be rid of it--to say nothing of the uncounted fiddlings for color and contrast, et. al.
