I was trying to help an unknown tourist. Perhaps I shouldn’t have. The original edit was particularly darker than I’m now used to. So using the latest version of Lightroom, I was able to make this shot.

It’s a bit cramped in this windows. So I raised the global exposure by 1/3. It really looks better.

Is there anything I missed? Ok.

Edit #3.

So I did render this with the new enhanced noise reduction tools in LR. A different crop, and edits in the face. It’s looking much better, and so is the model!

I’ve linked to the original edits… you’ll see the difference 5 years, new software, new knowledge, new tools, etc. can make.

Do you think it’s better?
