Model Test

Mainly experimental due to the processing techniques I used...

Eventually I want to edit a couple of the poses so that the lines disappear into the background in a sort of cheshire cat like way.

I am not a portrait photographer, so I speak with no authority whatsoever other than my opinion. I like the model, I like the shot, I like the processing, but I do not like the distracting tiny spots on her nose and cheek and the smudge on her neck above the collar-line. My eyes keep going to those distractions like a magnet.

I always feel a little awkward removing beauty spots, but I do think you're right and it will look better without those. I can't believe I missed the smudge given how much touch up was needed to remove the paint that flaked off. Thanks for pointing it out.

How is this fix?

Well done. I like the image. The spots needed to be removed

Excellent. Print it, frame it, put it in Vogue!

Thanks
