Waiting on 7D shipment....stuck with a Rebel!

Please give me your feedback on these... I promised the client I will only retouch 2. All other images will be in his gallery to view and share.

I don't charge much ($250) and as stated in the contract, 2 will be retouched. I believe he wants me to retouch all (155 images)! Totally impossible!

Please C&C all you can! I will adjust according to your finding! Should I remove the bricks and stones from the background??
Thanks!

These look very good to me - I think they need just a touch more contrast - I took a shot at the first one, adjusting the black point slightly with levels and adding a little contrast with curves. Here's a before and after.

I thought it was a bit to cool. Warmed it up and added a vignette.

Wow! Totally True! I see the difference. Boy, I need a class in lighting and on photoshop!

Thank you so much!

WOW!! HOw did YOU DO that?? That' fire!! I will offer both to him...
But there is no way I am trying to fix 155 images. LOL!!

Thank you so much!

As said above, adjust WB and add some contrast. Could blur the BG a little. Composition wise, in this image, the weight of the subject is on the picture right. If any dead space is used, it will look better in that side. Otherwise, a crop might work.

Hope it helps.

Totally awesome!! Wow! How did you guys make this picture pop!!

I have the iMac 27 inch, macbook, and the iPad the pictures look one way.
But when I use my jobs computer, Dell running window 7, it looks washed out!

So, I need to know can I use the images you have there?? I will give you credit!
Thanks! Oh, it just to post on Facebook!
