To be honest, I took the shot myself against my model's wishes. She wanted only full body shots but I needed to take another crack at close-ups. Since she wasn't paying me to take the photos, I took about 1/3 of the shots the way I wanted.

This shot is from the re-shoot of my first botched portrait session a couple of weeks ago. The lighting was better but I didn't manage to get any poses she liked. She was looking for glamour shots but this shot really captures who she is right now.

It was regular living room lighting. She just has phenomenal eyes. When I first looked through the viewfinder I couldn't help saying 'oh wow' out loud.

I did no cloning on this one. 

Thanks for the comments Bob.
