First shoot, I did some skin smoothing and saturated and added color to the eyes.
I know it may be a tad overdone.

Very nice pic, but you are right, it is a tad bit over processed.
When you smooth the skin on the face, it is important not to go over the natural lines.
See where the tip of the nose, and nostril kind of just blur into her lip.
Not too bad, keep trying!

Great shot. I like it.

I would like to add a little critique: try a little selective hue/saturation adjustment to reduce the pinkish blothcy skin before you smooth it all out. I see it on her neck and on her face in some spots, like her chin.

Aloha,


John

Thanks Red - I will definitly give that a shot. This is like my 2nd try at smoothing, it is quite an art. Her skin was a little rough.

Hopefully my next shoot wont need as much PP as this one, but I have learned alot :)
