The dry run

This is an excellent opportunity to show why editing is essential.
As you can see from the image, the light is soft, coming in through the windows and illuminating her in the tub.
Other than the skin shooting and lowering of overall contrast and increasing light on Fatima to make her pop, I removed the runoff drain between her legs and the faucet, which I found intrusive or attention-grabbing—and fixed the greenish colorcast on the door and floor tiles.
But, the most critical problem is that the right-hand side of the tub reflects so much light on her shadow side, which partly makes her booty blend into the shadow.
And placing a flag there is out of the question, as it would be in the frame.
So I made a mask for her booty and leg and burned in more shadow, which really made her stand out.
The original is a random picture, but the edited version will make you pause for a second. It’s hard not to look at.
