Very interesting Star. I'm checking out the before and after and really like what you did to the image. Your use of color is quite unique and foreign to me. I'm working the image over and over to get a feel for it. Thanks.

Ok it may be a trick my eyes are playing but the origional edit seems to have the definition of the collarbones deminished.  Am I right? and if so why?  I was under the impression this was a "Selling" point for a model.

Who is going to pick the winner I'm seeing some images that it looks like they just pasted your original image  as their entry I could be wrong though. But they didn't have high res versions linked either.

Well I recreated it but the way I would do it if I was asked to recreate the retouching. No 2 retouchers are going to do the exact same thing and get exact same results. Just like two photographers will not take the same picture even if they have the same setup in front of them.

popular vote. Winner must link to larger image to be the winner. Voting is listed as starting on

3. contest is open until June 9th at 3pm. Voting is from June 5th-June 9th.

so tomorrow!

For me this contest is more of a professional contest. Many times a second retoucher will be brought in to finish the work of the first retoucher, the shots have to match exactly.
