Jenny portrait

Here is Jenny from MM. We were supposed to have a big production shoot but the MUA canceled for a medical emergency. So we decided to just have with a few shots.

I like it, very well done.

I am guessing her skin is not like that and there was a big lot of PP after the shoot.

I really think the amount of skin smoothing has gone a bit far on her as she almost looks like a doll. Her hair on the top left is also a bit blurred so I take it you did blurring rather then cloning.

The composition and feel of the image is good but I think you've taken all her character out. I'd love to see it without the skin smoothing or if you are going to smooth her skin it might be worth getting in close and taking your time.

Thanks. I did smart blur on her skin only no the hair. I kept a dup layer of the skin before blur and used it on top to have her pore show but still working on the details of making that work. I do not want mottling of the skin but want it still to be natural. Right now I am working on the skin technique. I do not use D-B yet.

Comparing the two I do think I need to UP the opacity of the pore layer. Thanks.
