Hi all, slow connections are again preventing an upload

is the skin still looking natural here?

thanks

a new favorite

I think the skin looks fine.

Love your new favorite

Looks great IMO

Looks good.

Looks great, although I notice some de-noising on the hand that maybe looks a little unnatural, but only because I was looking for it, probably. Cool new favorite!

I think it looks great too, but something about the hand is off

The skin looks good but you'll have to determine if it looks like her. Pretty lady nicely captured.

works on my screen as well.. great shot actually

Looks great to me, the only part that looks a little un-natural, is around the eyes. Nonetheless, I like it just how it is. Care the share your pp technique?

Hey

thanks for the replies so far, I actually have slightly changed it, took the original and blened with this one, a slight more natural feel to things. i will update the link as it is now pointing to another pic.

Chris, on this one, usually the first things i try and sort out are the colors etc (levels), from there i go and take out some of the blemishes, not all or it will look too unnatural.
on this particular one i played around with a new plugin from 55mm , duplicate layer, apleid the filter 'naked cosmetics' from 55mm . this one softens the skin , adds a warm glow to it but somehow stays away a bit from items that are not skin.. but to make sure, added a mask layer,reveal all and revealed the eyes nose mouth etc, the things you want to keep sharp. and that's pretty much it
