Sigma 100-300mm f/4.0 EX IF HSM for Nikon

I took some test shots last night of this pretty lady with just gorgeous eyes, and was just wondering what y'all think about the overphotoshopped glamour shot? I like the original also, but I am trying to work out a technique for face shots that would work well for senior pictures. The low res image here seems a bit mottled, but the image I have is MUCH smoother. Thanks to anyone that would like to comment.

Nice direction, generally speaking, but with this particular implementation i think a face not having a nose just looks very weird.

Thanks yura. That nose(or lack of it) kind of bugged me too. I will need to leave a bit more?

Maybe I am not daring enough, but the original is just too good to mess with. A strong black and white would be fine, but I don't think you need to add interest with extreme processing. I would reserve that for the noses that need to fade into the face a bit. Experimentation is good, this is just my opinion on which results I like the most.

I agree about the nose, but what kills the hi-key one for me is the hat. It doesn't translate well.

The original is very nice. And the experiment is still good.

I appreciate the feedback! Those were the honest views I was hoping for. Its nice to have opinions from other photographers.

Great portrait, I like the original! The lack of a nose as people mentioned and the purple/pink fringing kinda distracts me. Great model!

ps: What lens did you use?
