Submitter's name:	CyberSimian
Title:	Brazillian Blonde
Gear used:	OM4Ti + Tamron SP 90mm 1:1 macro;  Canon FS4000 scanner
Exposure:	Centered-weighted TTL auto (details not recorded)
Film used:	Kodachrome 200
Technical information:	The picture was taken handheld outside.  The scan deviates from the original slide, but I could not work out how to adjust the software (Vuescan and Photoshop 5.0LE) in order to get a faithful representation of the slide. The centre of the picture is the correct shade of brown (after adjustment in Photoshop), but there is too much variation in colour from centre to edge -- the hair at the edges should be very pale brown rather than yellow.
Subject information:	A blonde that can be found in Brazil and elsewhere in South America.

Nice shot, quite reminiscent of the other flower shot. I like the backlighting that forms the "blonde look".

That is an interesting shot and composition. I like the colours, so it is a shame that you feel them unfaithful to the original.

This is a very difficult type of shot to make work well. I know, I have hundreds in the trash.
