English term or phrase: right on the edge
It was a perfect overcast day so every highlight and shadow was well within limits, but the model’s dark skin was right on the edge and that was the most important element in the picture.
===================
Eu sei o que é right on the edge, só não sei como traduzir quando relacionado com DARK SKIN (pele escura). Uma pele escura bem na borda? bem na margem?

Explanation:
O autor está falando dos limites de iluminação e/ou tonalidade. É bem possível que "right on the edge" não se refere à margem da cena, mas aos limites de iluminação e/ou tonalidade. Ou seja, por ser pele escura, estava chegando em um dos referidos limites.
