I like the creativity and the gold color doesn't bother me at all. It does have me wishing to see the original though. The only thing is I'm personally not digging the effect it had on her hair...kind of makes it look like she's turning really gray and that doesn't match the youthful face.

To get really nit-picky, in the final version I'd also clone / blend the folds in the sheets in the background.

Interesting effect and looks like a great model too. Keep going.

The left one looks to, well, ugh. I don't know. It's just alien or something.

Now, the right one. That is a masterpiece. I like it a lot. I wonder if a more silky and perhaps lighter colored glove would improve it a bit. Right now, the glove looks a little dollar store-ish. Doesn't match the glamour of her face. But the lighting is spot on.

Urr, What I really think?

Good PS technique, lousy for this particular pair of photos...

The left one is plain odd, and the right one you've highlighted all the imperfections in her skin. That works for 'gritty' photos, and for blokes, but for your model here it's wrong in so many ways...

Not to mention the fact that she'll probably kill you if she see's this edit of the right one, it's not that flattering IMHO... :-).

Just my 2c worth.

Cheers, Chris H.

Under your command, I'd say that I LOVE most of your work..I really do! But the first one really doesnt do anything for me after I have seen what you normally do! Th esecond one is beautiful, and I am sure that she is beautiful, but you really needed to tine down the dark circles and lines on the forhead. Those were what I noticed at first glance. I LOVE the pose and creativity though! Keep up your wonderful photography though Theo/

yeah i do realize it brings out a lot of imperfections, and it ijust is a side effect of this particular technique. and i will try and see what i can do as far as eliminating the spotches and having a smoother skin..

Not bad. The problem is it reminds me of an old Star Trek story. An episode of the original series had a green skinned dancing girl in it. They had to film the scene multiple times. Everytime they watched the "dailies", the girl looked normal. They couldn't figure out what the problem was, and the make up guy was getting the blame. Finally the dailies were late and Roddenberry checked with the development department. They apologized profusely, saying they were trying to get rid of the green tint on the girl!

Keep up the good work.
