You've done a nice job softening the look and giving emphasis to the model's steely gaze into the lens. Cheers.

These have a wonderful vibrant polished look that I really like. With your fine enhancements they now just grab the viewers attention and don't let go, which is something I always strive for with my photography. Congrats on excellent work.

Very nice even editing. There were some areas of the sky and dress that seemed blown out but you don't even notice it now with your enhancements. This is a very nicely polished image that maintains the integrity of the original. Thanks for sharing.

My try...

I love it when you can pick out individual details like the beads in the necklace, hairs, and threads in the dress, ie. when the sharpening is selective and not overdone. This has a really great look to it.

This overall darker treatment coupled with the enhancement of the clouds adds a nice drama to the image and a very different vibe from many of the brighter looks I've seen so far. Great job. Cheers

Really nice set, thanks for sharing! I might do some more



ED: may I use it in my website portfolio? Do you mind using before/after?

Love the color treatments in this, particularly the green enhancements. But, the thing that stands out most for me is the work you did on her hair with the even afro. It's a real head turner now. I'm kinda torn between maintaining the authenticity of her actual hair which is very dramatic in it's own way and this amazing interpretation which is very creative and eye-catching. I think both work for different reasons. Beautiful pics. Great job.

hi,another try,,

Completely gorgeous image! It just makes me smile when I look at it. Would love to see a tiny bit more sharpness in the key features like hair, eyes, mouth, and other details but it could be an issue with the original image. I need to go back and check it. It's now an awesome fun pic. Well done and thanks for sharing.

You've done it again. Two more superbly polished images with a lovely velvety silky slick look. Great job.

Here are the 2/4 that I'm finished with so far :

Went for something more commercial because I like the look. May I use these in my portfolio and on Facebook/Twitter? Just as social media for my portfolio. Just need the model's name and anyone else I can credit

Awesome fun, vibrant edits that capture the energy and playfulness of both images. The grungier treatment gives it a very different feel than others that have been posted so far. Nicely done.

Yes, please feel free to use as requested. The credit info. is in my original posting. Cheers!

Beautiful work Steven. The blueish hues in the shadows give it a really nice contemporary look. Thanks for sharing!
