Dec 19 18 09:24 pm Link Garry's right. Those images are useless in gauging your skills without the before-image with which to compare. Dec 20 18 12:43 am Link Everyone else beat me to it.... Yep. You need the 'before' in addition to the 'after'. Dec 20 18 02:12 am Link https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/38760901 Really like the soft focus result. Skin and tones in the scene look very good. Lovely image. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/42253013 Love the vision here. Getting a vibe off the skin tone that there might be some gray patches by the side of her eyes. Still a lovely photograph. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/44878011 The yellow tones are throwing me off of the subject. Eyes look out of focus. It’s a good scene, she’s pretty, the focus and tones are distracting me. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/44754754 Lose this image. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/44910738 Looks like you cooked this thing for too long. She’s pretty and it’s a pretty scene. The colors have some greens in them on the subject. Eyes are beautiful and overdone, too white, she’s staring at me a little weird. Get the color of the skin, hands - face, in sync. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/38761007 Bland background for the very colorful subject. These are all a preference thing man. My opinion based on what I’ve seen in other images that get good/great response from the masses. Dec 21 18 09:13 am Link Their faces look sandblasted. No human being looks like that. This is a major problem with the beauty fashion business. Even if you are selling make up such manufactured faces look unreal. Seems like false advertising to me They have little to no appeal for me. Dec 21 18 10:06 pm Link My feelings about retouching is that it must be invisible. Your images are over processed. The surfaces on you skin look artificial. Try to tone it down a bit. Best of luck, Jorge Dec 22 18 03:59 pm Link Since no one else has mentioned it: The ring lights reflect in one of the model's eyes. The reflection is close to the pupil, but not concentric. Though, even if it was right on both pupils, it would still make the eyes look weird. Maybe that is why they look out focus to an above commenter. The reflection doesn't work as a catch light and the reflection redirects the apparent direction of the eye, making the subject look crosseyed. Also, the overlapping circles don't look great. The ring light reflections should be removed or minimized into a catch light. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/44878011 Dec 22 18 06:36 pm Link great work on skin and eyes. well done Dec 28 18 05:46 am Link |
