Sensational, how in hell did you get there.......

Go into "HSL/Color/B&W" and reduce the Green and Yellow Saturation and Luminance to minimum.

You could say he is standing on a blackberry bush.

Most interesting! Very few made major changes. a prevailing theme seems to be to narrow her face - a common equating of thinness with beauty. It is apparent, from the portion of her body that was in the picture, that she is not heavy, and the flat lighting for the original picture didn't provide any modeling of her facial features that one would ordinarily see in person. Some lightened her skin tone, some darkened it. Possibly an effort to make her less bi-racial looking and choosing one or the other of her racial backgrounds. Adding makeup is appealing to the societal norm of women wearing makeup in many countries.

As they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". To me, innate beauty is so variable that I don't have a fixed view of what a beautiful person - a woman in this example - must look like. This woman has beautiful facial features that nearly defy alteration in my view. I did find that her appearance was somewhat enhanced with mild application of makeup, but that reflects the societal norm of the area in which I live.

It would be interesting for comparison, to see what a "Hollywood" make-up artist would produce.

I just set my Sony LX3 to best picture, and it takes care of all that for me.

If anyone suggests my Portrait is not the BEST they have ever seen I just point to the settings on the camera and say " Cant blame the Camera then! "

Found another 7D Mk2 video (from @stratman 's source), one of many by the same guy. Comparison with the 5D Mk3.

Digital rev were a good go to for things photographic, sadly today this video just about sums up the company...all glitz slick talk and fast hands......now which thimble ARE those peas under..

Lot of wind to get to one is faster than the other.......certainly a review a la todays smoke and mirror society......in depth...... (?)

Having said that, the series is worth following even just for a bit of fun.
