Actually, her name is Jocelyn so I shouldn't be uncharitable but those breathing apparatus do make her look somewhat alien...safety at the expense of fashion, as it should be.
From a post apocalyptic looking era. Like the processing.

I th8nk it’s time I get out f here...quickly

That’s some heavy duty equipment and headgear for an artistic endeavor.
January 7th, 2020  
she rocks!
January 7th, 2020  
Wow, that’s some safety gear!
January 7th, 2020  
Wow. I wouldn't argue with Jocelyn! Great capture.

Is Jocelyn the drill or the 'drillee"?

@maggiemae Given that it's a grinder, "neither" is the answer to your question.
@jamibann Neither would I, despite her being very softly spoken ;)
@kjarn Best to be safe :)
@koalagardens That she does - looking forward to seeing the finished product
@redy4et With the dust. grit and shrapnel from these things is probably for the best!
@jgpittenger I'll race you... ;)
@taffy Thanks very much :)

Wouldn't mess with Jocelyn, especially not wielding that bit of equipment!

@fbailey I'd stand well back as well...
January 7th, 2020  
I think your postproduction gives the right gritty feel to the scene. Great one!
January 7th, 2020  
I'll take a truck load of rockdust, please.

@byrdlip At the prices they charge for the finished sculptures I think you're getting in at the right time!
@domenicododaro Thank you very much :)

Did you 'borrow' any of her gear for a selfie or two??
January 7th, 2020  
Love the processing

Hi Mr S, I'm slowly lesrning processing, and don't have Photoshop. Am getting to sort of understand dodge and burn. What do you do to process your photos to make them look like this, but still not overly "cheated"??
January 8th, 2020  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I don't use Photoshop or Lightroom - I used to but I find Affinity Photo (for Mac) to be much better for me - more intuitive with the same functionality as Lightroom and most of what I need from Photoshop.
I usually start by doing a tonal compression and pushing the contrast up to a maximum before tweaking the shadows and highlights to a point where I'm happy with the look, like this shot. I never once managed to get the same result from LR.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Probably no help, but you're welcome!
