I know there are a lot of you that don't like this softening effect, but I thought it lent itself well to these sweet little girls. How could I have improved the images?

I like the third one but the first two make them look a little scary to me.

I love these shots. I think it looks a little unnatural on the first two shots, but works well in the third shot! Unfortunately, I have no advice to offer. I'm a newbie. :(

do you like the first two with a little more depth. (Like these) Or do they even look any different to you?

eyes are way overdone for me on such young girls. The third is okay.

Yes, the eyes are problematic. Was that mostly post processing?

yeah it's pp. These are the originals. I did the oldest girl first., then I guess I got carried away on the littler girls.

They are better as originals but they could just use a little tweaking on the coloring. One big problem I see is, I am not sure what your'e doing, but your eyes aren't blending in, it seems I can see the obvious place you had the eyes seperate and it's not blended at all.. The original edits up at the top look kind of like aliens, hehe. The original photos are gorgeous, just play with some levels/tones/etc in photoshop!


I am super cool n' stuff.
