Aiming for the look of the classic hollywood portraits. Shot in early morning sunlight filtered through a grand old pine tree. In the spirit of this challenge, solely processed in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.1 except for resizing and conversion to jpeg. ACR main window processing was exposure and white balance "as shot" and just the "Blacks" bumped a tiny bit. Convert to grayscale was "Auto" with the "Oranges" slider bumped to "0" to help the skin glow, tone curve done in the "Parametric" window deepening both "Shadows" and "Darks" sliders, sharpening at ACR defaults.
