Did a shoot with Kenni this past weekend. I know it's got a couple hot spots but looking for any ideas that would make it better.

Looks fine to me! I keep saying that, but if she was my daughter, I would be pleased with the photograph you took. I don't think I would say "Hey, what's up with this hot spot? Can ya fix it?"

Was she pleased with the result?

Thanks!
It was a tad darker with her new foundation so therefore I lightened it up a bit.
But yes I think she is liking some of the first few shots.

The extraction is a bit raggedy but otherwise I like the shot. Assuming you have photoshop you can get rid of the hot spots by using the clone stamp set to darken mode.

Shoot 'em all and let Photoshop sort them out.

There was no extraction but I did try to clean up some stray hairs. I will try the darken clone stamp, thanks!

A background that contrasts more. Also if you want to get a little carried away, more catch light for the eyes.

Also, a simple sharpening of the eyes would help.

Nice shot, I dont like the way the cross is placed, I would have fixed that before taking the shot. The skin looks a bit plastic and I would sharpen her eyes a bit.

Thanks the larger version looks alot sharper in the eyes. They always seem to look worse on here.

The skin looks a bit too smooth to these old eyes, but a wonderful shot none the less.

Thanks her skin was a little rough to start with, but I could have droped the opacity a tad.
