Art, how did you do the left eye? it changes the image quite a bit. also, can you elaborate on hair pp? |
LOL - well, I tried to darken the left eye a little, but part of the iris was really blown, so I used a circular mask with 2px feather on the right eye just around the iris and copied it onto the left. Coulda done better with the full size image, but oh well. Sometimes I have fixed a partially blown iris by selecting (with feathered mask) around the blown iris, then subtracting the pupil and subtracting the blown part, then copy/paste onto a new layer and rotate it so essentially you use one part of the same iris to rebuild the blown part.
The hair: Clone the wirey strays, use liquify and push/reshape the hair with a large diameter bursh, starting from a bit of a distance away from the edge of the hair and just pushing it in slightly. This caused some of the background to warp in, leaving transparent holes around parts of the edge - just painted that in with the bkg color afterwards. |
Excellent work Art - All three distractions dealt with (Hair, Chest & Eye) it finishes off the shot perfectly.
Hopefully this is the look  onesaint was looking for originally.
All three |

Steve - was viewing one of the others in your series and this thumb caught my eye again. I think it is worth salvaging. I did a quick retouch on it and uploaded it here - you will see the retouched version, mouseover to see the original. I tried not to go too "plastic" and left some of the lines around her eyes that I think actually are a positive attribute to her appearance. A little cloning & healing on the chest, cloning over the random hairs and a little liquify/reshaping of the hair as well. If you worked on the large version, you could probably come up with something better. I don't know how you feel about retouching to this extent - if you don't care for it, consider this my own exercise. :) |

Lovely smile and great pose. She's friendly with the camera, which makes for a good photo.

| Lovely model - think the catchlights in her eyes could be better. |

C&C: clone out the stray hairs, darken the background to make it look black. Not sure what can be done pp for the harsh lighting on the one eye. The shadow separating the sweater and the breast is very distracting to me.
The model pose is very relaxed looking. Expression and smile are pleasant. |

| Everythings great, but the lighting is a little too bright, not to be nit picky, but she may want to try a hair smoothing cream. The composition and everything else is very nice. Good work. |

Also here to C&c, but all i have to say is what the first poster said, the lighting is harsh on her left side, thus the white eye. And having the background pushed all the way to pure black would help too. Flyway hairs, and the boob breast issue would have to be resovled. other then that, beautiful women, and a great smile she has |

| Can't add to what was already stated, but would add that you may be able to process the flaws out if you can't reshoot. I'll also add fwiw: Very beautiful lady and a lovely smile. |

| She is really beautiful. I think Kelly got them all. Your lighting is a bit harsh but the shadow between her breast adn her shirt bothers me most. Her shirt looks really textured -- it is a bit distracting for me as I keep looking at the shirt and not her face. |

C&C? Ok, but you asked! First you need to smooth out the flyaway hairs, especially the ones at the top of the head. They appear to be very sharp and give an odd look. Second, your lighting seems to be really harsh on her right side giving the white of the eye and the cheek a blown appearance. Also, this creates a harsh shadow separation between her breast and her shirt that's not flattering.
Now the props, lol! She a very pretty woman and you caught a beautiful smile. The pose is very natural and relaxed. Overall, nice job! |
