Coy with a Cupcake

This was for a college fashion shoot. They were going for a pseudo-50's Victorian vintage look, so I gave this photo a pinup treatment. I think it worked alright.

Maybe slightly more desaturation may suit the 50's style you was after but its a good fun image.

Its a fun picture but I don't get the 50s-Victorian reference. There's a big difference between the 1950s and Victorian times. This certainly has the 50s look though.

I respectfully disagree. Magazine pages from the fifties were actually much more saturated than this. Example 1. Example 2.

The clothing line was Victorian-inspired, but they asked me to make her look like she was from the fifties. So that's what you see here.
