Bringing life to Art by Miran

I'm holding my breath and applying for the Art by Miran DT call. I LOVE working with Art by Miran images and bringing them to life. They are such wonderful images to work with as they give a colourist lots of room to play with things like cast shadows, pleats, and not to forget those gorgeous hair styles! This is my entry for the DT call. I've created a simple centre step card with minimal embellishments to keep the focus on the beautiful image.
