Abused and Ignored

I found this beautiful lady in Venice Beach. She didn’t say much, but I think she was into me. Don’t let her distant stare fool you, she had quite the personality. Underneath of her “I’m sexy and I know it” facade, she’s screaming for attention. Because she is, after all… abused and ignored.
- Unprocessed RAW
There you have it, straight out of the camera. - Processed RAW
Minimal processing for white balance and exposure (using the “Auto” setting in ACR). - Color Curves
I used the technique from my “Redscale Process” described some weeks ago. After adjusting the curves, the blend mode was set to “color”. - Color Fill
Again, from the mentioned Photoshop technique. Opacity set to 20% and blend mode to “color”. - Luminosity Curves
Added some contrast to make it a little more punchy. Blend mode was set to “luminosity” to preserve previous color adjustments.
Now if I could figure out how to create the same effect in ACR I’d be pretty clever.
