Jimmy, could you elaborate a bit on that? I'm not quite sure what you mean... her dress definitely was very absorbant. When I first used a softbox on the corset (the main thing I wanted to "show off" for her), it was way too soft, so I chose to use a more "hard" light and that really brought the corset out.
As for the skin, I could tone it down a bit... this was a first cut.

I was mainly asking if the skin had too much of a "smoothing" look to it. I tried to do it just a tad, maybe too much still though. I'm sensitive to overprocessed plasticy skin. I think the background is fine too, plenty of separation etc, even for the black couch.
Thanks guys!
