Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 50mm F.18 Nikkor. Exp: +3.0 to blow out the background. Selectively replaced some red building blotches in the background using the color replacement tool. Curves to brighten and bring out blue/green hues. Minor noise reduction and sharpening. See my FB page for the before and after post editing: [link]
Additional Comments
Sorry for having been missing from DA for awhile. We recently moved into off campus housing. This shot was taken in the dining room. It's a pretty old building so they have these weird old furnaces (the thing I'm sitting on). The stove has a pilot light...seriously ancient technology. Anyways, when we moved in, the gas and electric company turned on our gas but forgot to turn on our electricity...and apparently they don't work weekends or holidays so we were without electricity for awhile

You should probably move. Carole King and her cat have to pose for an album cover.

Great shot, but I think she feels a little uncomfortable without any support behind her back (:
