OK so I have spent the better part of my evening post processing and here is what I have come up with....these are the before and after shots...are the eyes too bright? is the skin too yellow? If I have to ask then the answer may very well be yes but...I need a second set if eyes.

Yes on both counts. The skin doesn't look right especially in the first and 3rd. Not as bad in second but still off. when whitening the eyes it is really easy to go too far and make them look freaky, not working in these. Maybe this workflow video would help.

Oh hey by the way, the second and third work if you're going for artistic. They kinda have a Norman Rockwell/Coca-Cola thing going. Might be something to work on.

You know whats funny is that I WAS sort of going for that look. I want it to be bright but not toooo unnatural. You know what I mean?

I don't really like the PP pn any of the after shots. Sorry, but that's me. Nice try though: practice is the key!

I sort of like the retro Coca-Cola poster look if that's what you're after. You have recreated the soft focus and aged coloration of a 50's ad.

Sorry... I guess I'm the only one that thinks these are wayyyy too yellow? ??? The originals look much better; although, they still need a little 'pop'. Great job on the shoot though!
