Retouched and processed in Photoshop CS4

  

2xSB600 camera left and right at 1/8 and 1/2 power fired through 42" umbrella using cactus triggers.

Fine tuning my retouching and finishing process in Photoshop CS4:

 

1. Spot healing brush to correct minor skin blemishes and wrinkles.

 

2. Added a gaussian blur layer mask painted in at between 25% and 40% opacity.

 

3. High pass/hard light filter at 75% opacity to finish.
