Hi :) I'd just love some peoples opinions on how the end result of my photos look. It's great to get a new perspective and check if I'm on track or running off the rails a little.

I didn't like the green in the background so went for a warmer colour. Do you think it works?

I tried to add a little texture here. Does it look OK?

Yes, I think you did very well changing to a warmer tone. Lovely model too! You might try brightening her eyes in all these shots though.

Yes, warmer tone is a marked improvement...A little fill flash would brighten her face and add a catchlight to her eyes...Lovely model!

Good editing on the first image. Most people tend to want to do too much and end up ruining everything, but what you have done here is just spot on.

In respect of the first image, the warmer colour is better however, the model's skin colour and the background colour are close enough that the model is starting to merge with the background.

Can you darken the background just a little thus allowing the model to "POP" out from the background?

Notice the difference in contrast between the background and the model's hair?


My wisdom is learned from the experience of others.

the warmer tone makes them all stand out better, hehe sorry I had to throw this in, but in the second set of images it seems you made the subject taller :lol:

Great raw conversions, Now finish it off in a pixel editor and remove the moles and blemishes.

The texture in 3 looks good in spots, but not in others. I would just add it to the spots that look good.

How does this look? I tried to make the background a little darker. Also lightened the bagginess under her eyes and tried to brighten her eyes as well.

I'm a little confused. I did remove the blemishes in photoshop? I wont remove moles though, that's part of her body.
As far as the texture in 3, which parts look good and don't look good? To me, it all looks good which is why I did it :oops:

I think you have some pretty good pictures here and your edits improved them even more. Nice job and a lovely model.

I REALLY like the texture on the white part of the back wall. What doesn't look good to me is the texture on the left side of the model over the bench. The texture on the brown slats on either side of the white wall and on the bench look more like noise to me than texture. Just my opinion.

I like the warmer edit on the first one better, but like the original on the 2nd one better.

Can't decide about the 3rd one.
