Did you do much skin smoothing? I agree.....and her skin does look like it's been worked quite a bit. I can't imagine she would need much. Remember what the DorMouse said.....feed your head.

Elbows cut off in the first 2, she doesn't seem to "fit" well in the 3rd framing - maybe a horizontal composition taken from a different position? The last one needs to be cropped tighter and/or taken with a longer lens or closer to the girl.

Jan 27, 2014 15:27 | #10 I like this set and I know quite a few people who prefer skin to be a tad overexposed like this... personal preference. I think it works and if the client really liked them, don't dwell on it too much. Laurence

In #3 I wish that her boot wasn't hitting the edge of the frame though. For my taste, these are just a touch too smoothed and overexposed, but Tiger is right - if the client likes it, don't dwell on it.

I did not say a tight crop. But you could lose half of what is below her feet since it is really of no importance and would strengthen the composition.
