I enjoyed retouching your image (Beautiful work). I would like to display this retouch, my site is www.sbretouch.com (credits will be displayed)

Love it. The soft color tones that compliment the ballerinas wardrobe are a perfect choice. This combined with the model poses and expressions lend the pic a really dreamy look that hints of a story. Fantastic!

Really nice edit. Sharp in all the right places. Tatts look good and I like the creamy look of her skin. The outdoor scenery pops well. My only gripe about the image is 100% my fault and that is the softbox reflection in the window. Doh! Anyway, you did a great job so thanks for sharing.

Wow, these are jawdropping! I'm loving the creativity I'm seeing with this series of images and these examples are two of the best manipulations so far. The first is my favorite because it has so much depth and beauty. The choice of location is perfect. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!

This is one of my faves so far. It's a captivating edit that captures the delicate beauty we wanted to convey in the series. I can't really articulate the specifics of what you seem to have done but I really like it! Thanks for sharing.

This is an epic manipulation. I thought the loft studio setting was pretty cool but to open it up with the deep blue sky background was really creative and it works beautifully. It really stopped me in my tracks with it's new eye catching look. Superb work and thanks a lot for sharing!!

Wow! Gorgeous. I agree.

Thanks for sharing these Nikki. Bumping the colors in the first image helps it pop more and the last one almost looks like a fairy. You could maybe add some wings to give it a cool fantasy vibe!

I like the way you've dropped back the background to keep the emphasis on the ballerina without having to brighten her up. She looks crisp, sharp and beautiful. This is a really nice edit. Thanks!

This is one of the very best edits I've seen on any of my pics. Absolutely breathtaking. You've polished it up beautifully while maintaining the integrity of the image. No plastic skin here, in fact, you can even make out the freckles which I love. Superb work so thanks a lot for sharing your results!
