Cranky and tired, Phoebe was in no mood to put up with my chicanery. But I still got this shot, with a softbox behind her and one in front of her. I used the channel mixer, curves, and some local adjustments on a separate layer. (I've got two versions of this file, one for screen and one for print. The print version is lighter.)
