How it is this Merrill photo shot ?

The skin looks smooth, and colors are pure. Not leathery, dry in any way, but healthy.

A very interesting portrait. Personally I find the flash highlights a bit rough and the face a bit overexposed.

But I also think Merrill raw files are very malleable.

The photo is a bit front focussed but that may be intentional.

Generally speaking, not referring to this particular image, I think excessive sharpness can be avoided or coped with during post processing. I think Foveon sensors can deliver exceptional image quality also for portraits.
