One of my tango instructors wanted some photos for her website, and we spent a
few hours this afternoon playing with camera and lights. It started off a
little rough, but once we hit our stride, we got some decent shots:

You may find them easier to look at using this link:

I suspect that if I knew a bit more about makeup, and possibly lighting, I
could reduce the visibility of some of her wrinkles. Even so, I still think she
looks a lot better than a lot of women half her age.
Using the technique someone posted a link to a week or so ago, I tried
smoothing out the wrinkles in this one:

Larry, I really like the idea of the more dramatic posed shots,
56143-56165, and especially 56165. But I find the lighting just too
even and flat for the subject. I'd like to see more drama! Need some
shadows, dude. :) And you could try b&w conversions on those too.
Besides being compatible with the dramatic angles, it would be more
flattering for her skin I think.
Your lines removal is pretty successful, but I see some kind of
artifacting in there. Some oversharpening at some point in the workflow
perhaps?
You caught some great candid expressions in those headshots.
Good work, Larry!
