The image definitely went through photoshop. Everything does. We were on the train with Reba and her husband for a couple of days riding from Calgary to Vancouver. She is truly a wonderful and genuine person. We loved working with her.
We were very careful not to go overboard with the retouching. But that being said, Reba (although very well kept and beautiful) IS a 50 year old woman and a superstar. She herself didn’t have any demands about the images as many do although she did require approval of the shots before the client could use them.
We only retouched the image enough that she looked as beautiful in the shot as she did to us in real life.
This was shot on a Canon 5D MK II which when not being used for stills doubled as a b-roll video camera.
Thanks again!

A nice portrait. Mid-speech is a difficult pose for a portrait. This is
a video grab? The image as a whole looks a bit like it was worked in
photoshop: her face looks almost too smooth, her eyes a bit too intense,
and something's funny about the depth of field, but it could just be me.
It is quite possible that her face *is* smooth, her eyes *are* intense,
and the DOF is what it is. Maybe you just tweaked the saturation.
