You've given it a real quality finish. I love the sheen on her skin and the overall turquoise look. The subtle vignette and deeper shadows in the sand provide an extra depth lending the image a beautiful hi-end look. Great job and thanks for sharing. Mar 13 14 08:26 am Link Thank you!

Once again the edit fits the series perfectly with the vignette inviting the viewer's eyes towards the subject who is treated to subtle enhancements in all the right places. Stunning work and thanks for sharing. Mar 14 14 04:42 am Link FM Digital Graphics wrote: Fantastic work again Michelle. Your edit is large and in-charge. FYI, I've left comments on this and your other fantastic edits from the series under the pics in your portfolio. Thanks for sharing!

This is less of a photo tweak and more of a PhotoAmbush! Thanks for taking part and sharing more of your awesome work!

It oozes quality and I love your subtle light leak effect that adds an extra layer of interest. Excellent decision. Great job and thanks a lot for sharing.

This has a quasi-Sports Illustrated look to it which I really like. We were shooting fitness at this point so your edit is perfect for this particular image. Thanks a lot for sharing!

With your two edits I still don't know the answer because they're equally amazing. Incredible high calibre edits as I've come to expect from PhotoTweak. Great job and thanks for sharing!

The first is beautifully crisp and clean compared to the original. I like the overall color and the work you've done on the body/skin. Mar 19 14 07:51 pm Link Mar 19 14 08:08 pm Link Mar 20 14 01:35 am Link I hope you like it. Thank you for sharing. Mar 20 14 03:53 am Link ronikea wrote: I must commend you on an amazing job here. It looks so polished now. Sorry if I don't get the specific retouching language right but de-saturating the background gives it a really nice high-end look. I also love the way you've softened the harsh highlights and improved the skin in all the right places. I see you've made some other subtle enhancements too and it all adds up to a beautiful image. Mar 20 14 02:33 pm Link I completely forgot about this image so I'm really pleased you chose it! Kudos to you for attempting this challenging pic because the exposure wasn't right and you compensated beautifully to rescue it. In fact, it's now a really gorgeous image that does justice to the lovely model and setting. Well done!! Mar 20 14 02:37 pm Link aleks89 wrote: More great work from you! These two are excellent. The first one really puts my own edit attempt to shame. You've gone darker than others and it's interesting to see that it creates a slightly different mood. This time it provides a sultry mature look that I like coupled with the nice soft sheen on the model's skin. Thanks for sharing and feel free to use in your port.

You have the image so well defined against the background and sand that it almost looks 3D. Deep blue is my favorite color so I'm a big fan of the hue you chose for the sky. Awesome work mate.
