paula  absolutely gorgeous image Matt! Happy Birthday Kylie!  May 19, 2009 ~ 4:06pm
Matt Nicolosi  @ Elaine: You were close. 85mm f/1.4 shot at f/1.6. THis is by far my favorite portrait lens. @ Jen: Kylie's skin is actually pretty good, so I didn't have to do too much, but I did run the Portraiture plug-in from Imagenomic at medium strength and then lowered the opacity of the result to about 40%. Hope that helps!  May 18, 2009 ~ 5:54pm
