two shots of my beautiful friend.

please give me feedback on these. thankyou.

I like the eye contact in #2 and the eyes look good as well. The skin processing (in #2) is a bit strong though and the background a bit busy. The crop on #1 is just off for me. She's a great looking model so enjoy shooting with her.

thankyou for the feedback. this was the first time i used this technique to smooth out the skin. ill try tone it back when i do it again.

Great start. #1 WB is much too cool especially compared to the second photo.

#1 I'd like to have eye contact with the same pose, the WB is too cool, and I'd desat the reds in her cheeks a bit so it didn't look like overkill with the blush.

#2 The skin is a little to overdone for my taste. The eyes are striking, but just a tad little too much processing (they don't look very natural). Posing wise, play with head positions just to try to reduce/remove neck wrinkles

thankyou everyone for the feedback. i will work harder to better my photos
