Hello! It's been a while since I last used this site. I took a long hiatus and did some simple retouching for a photographer, and I am now trying to do more high end work again. That means I've started over essentially with my portfolio, and I'd just like to check in with the skilled members here for some opinions. Here are some examples from my page that I'd love feedback on.

Hi J!  Tried to look at your post in larger view but the image has been removed.   Seems like we're both seeking similar advice but not getting a lot of response.  Maybe we can help each other with some one on one critique smile

You're struggling with dnb. You're using a way to broad brush, which results in images looking foggy/plastic.

DNB needs to enhance sense of sharpness, it's not about perfection, it's about enhancing what's there.
