I do like the shot, this is the same girl as the really colorful one?
I'm not gone on the edit though, I would like to see how it works in color or b&w. I find the fading on the paisley shawl a little distracting. Hope you don't mind me saying so.

yes it's the same girl as the colorful one and "Aperture"
i did make a b&w conversion, just not sure about it yet.
i have a straight monochrome, and one with a sepia tone,
which i find works out a bit better than the color verso.
and no, i dont mind it at all
i'd be lost if KissmyHuman
didn't make a suggestion, and the same with you as well.
this is one of those photos that's gonna be re-worked again
and again lol until i'm finally happy with it. the noise levels
just makes it so difficult sometimes. can't wait to learn a film
camera
i'll update with a monochrome version when i get more
time later on in the day. thanks again for the indepth analysis
it's just what i needed.

it's just what i needed.I'm a grumpy old fart when it comes to editing. I like black and white or color 
especially if it's street or photojournalism 
especially if it's street or photojournalism i'm alright with editting, but dealing with excessive 800+ ISO noise is just something i never learned to deal or be patient with. even if i had a pen tool i probably still wouldn't enjoy it lol. i can't wait to have more money and make the switch to film and set up my own dark room (oh right, i still have to learn that too). although i'm starting to really like black and white nowadays, not to mention the sepia tone i find street and journalism is so much better in black and white.
i find street and journalism is so much better in black and white.ISO can be a right pita! I slowly started re-editing pre-Lightroom uploads, any I think are worth the effort. I have one taken on 1600 ISO, the noise is insane! I did the original edit in Elements which is crap compared to LR because it doesn't read RAW files. I tried to edit the same image from RAW in LR and the results suck to high heaven, for once an Elements version won.
I was
trying to figure out how and where I could set up a makeshift darkroom in my house... totally WHITE bathrooms. ^bQw reminded me... dark bags! I haven't used one before so I'm borrowing one to see how they work. I had an interesting technique for loading film tanks when I couldn't get into the darkroom. I used to cover my bedroom windows and door in black plastic, cover my bed in another sheet of black plastic and crawl under the covers with my tanks, film and a can opener... my feet on the pillow. I almost suffocated a couple of times, but it worked

The colours are nice and work well with the focus. Fits the theme of drugs, the way it seems a bit like a smokey haze. Great shot
thanks lluber
beautiful stuff..
cheers mate
Post processing seems a bit sharper than it should be.
I love, however, the crack in between the woman's fingers oddly enough.

sharper? how? what do you recommend ? because i do wanna re-do this one again.. let me know what you have in mind. perhaps it might be better
I'm thinking if you want to keep that level of sharpness, perhaps do it on copied layer and mask it off in areas where there isn't a lot of detail like the left side of the image, just to drop down the level of apparent noise.
I'm all for grain/pseudo-grain but because it's on the sharper side it looks blocky and not as pleasing.
