Testing a few things (window light + reflector and some post processing) what do you guys think? Did I over do the skin or eyes?

#1 is my favorite. It's a great shot. Only thing is the glare on the left side of her face. It looks like natural light, but maybe next time face her more toward the window to even that out?

Yea, # 1 looks good.....her face is just a little bit over exposed. I wouldn't mind a few more shadows to add some depth. Her skin looks fine but it is about a half step away from being over done. It may seem that way too because it's a little bright.

How about # 3 in color? That's a cool shot.

Number one here also. The others do not flatter her as well, with the bump or mole on the left side of her face.

Try going in with a hard, round brush and making her pupils a little bigger. See if you like the result.

What would I do with the brush exactly?

Just make the pupils larger with it. Black, hard, round brush and just stamp over the pupils.

Looks like her pupils have constricted a bit from being in a dark environment. I had to do it all the time before I got strobes with modeling lights.

Ohhhhhh nice, will that have any effect on the reflection near the pupils?
