Looking for some C/C on this one, I am considering making this a large print for the family of the model.

This is my next favorite from the set, I understand W/B do not match. I am still learning the process of keeping W/B the same across all photos. If there are anyways to improve these images I'm very open to C/C.

You can try to play with the curves tool to adjust the shots skin tonality, and alter the sky hue so that it doesn't look blown out

Maybe a little too much red in #1 and not enough in #2. Also in #1 I think there's too much tree and too much contrast in her face. I'd also clone out the spot on her forearm unless that's a permanent mark.

In #2 you could crop tighter - take some off the bottom and more off the top, then darken the background. You could also crop #1 a bit.
If you turn on image editing you will get some different takes on it from the forum.

How can I selectively de-contrast an area in LR? That spot is a piercing btw which I could easily remove using spot removal. I may do that.

Also how could I bring down the Red in the saturation levels? This is somewhat difficult I'm R/G/Y/B color blind when the colors come close. I don't see a thing

Sorry, I don't use LR. Maybe someone else will give you some advice on that. The spot on her forearm is a piercing? I'm talking about the spot near her wrist basically between the radius and ulna bones. I've never seen a piercing there before.

Well that's a relief - sort of. I thought it went clear through the arm.

LR4.2 - you can use the brush and select an area to modify.

And there are several ways to reduce color cast/tone in an image.

I have NO skin alterations of any kind - so I find it odd that I know about this at all, but I happened to see a brief segment of a show on this sort of thing... do a Google search for dermal or microdermal piercings and you can see how many of these 'contemporary' piercings are being done. Some include a sort of metal baseplate that is embedded under the skin to which the jewelry is attached to...

With a matched peice in the other forearm, they could double as cuff links.
