Ya i was wondering about that myself,

i really like the last one however the first is way to processed for me, it doesn't look natural, it looks a bit too painted on. The last one looks clean and crisp, much more realistic.

Thank you for your comments. Now that I look at it again, you are right. Weird how one moment it looks great to you, then 5 minutes later it looks completely different than what you first edited lol. I will try and go back and see what I did wrong to that one. The rest of the set are just normal color corrections and skin touch ups. I wanted to try some new PP but still learning

Its a good start if you want to learn more about touching up faces, i believe there are a few good tuts on youtube, but your better to find something on lynda.com

I think they would both look better if all of the baby was in focus.

Stunning shot Pham !

Love it!, what did you use to create the two small lights at the base of the rear kickers?

Couple from a family shoot a couple of weeks ago - simple 2 light set up (umbrella left and softbox right): -

Awesome shot Lucas! Great lighting, composition and pose! Location looks cool too

Thanks! I'm almost at the point that I have enough to make a separate thread for the shots, will be making it soon in either people or the glamour section

What do you think of this? I have to say for artistic reasons i like the blurred one but as a simple portrait i like this one more, so did the mother, lol!

^^^^ much better imo.

^^ agreed, the other one had a cool 3D feel to it but this has a much more natural feel to it which is nice

Way better.
