I did a photo shoot, it was my 3rd after not shooting for ten years. I am really critical of what I like of my own, and I just didn't like any of the pictures that came out from the shoot. It makes me feel bad, because the girl in the photos is far more beautiful than I feel the photo makes her out to be - she's an eye-turner on the street.

(I was helping a stylist friend who wanted shots for her book, so she did the makeup and hair to her preference)

The images were not shot RAW, but high Jpeg (it was a friends Nikon D2x)

Please help me make one good photo out of this (I picked what I felt was the best out of what there was)

Wish you would have given a high rez image.  I could have made the skin perfect, and fix the chin so it didn't blend into her shoulder.  I don't have enough pixels to burn and create a shadow.. sad

Ok well the photographer is in mexico.........So I have to have him write it on here?

What, you think MM is just for those in the US? come on...I'm in Germany, and if I had a model from the US who wanted to post an image I created of them, they could send an e-mail to ask....the last time I checked, mexico had access to the internet, too.

Sorry if this doesnt work,Photobucket is down so I tries a new image host.
This is my edit of the original low res image. Any suggestions on a host that will tag
an image to post here would be appreciated. Thanks B
This is a lighter version of my first attempt:

This would be a final: I did not work on the Hi res image you provided.

With the highlights as blown out as they were I decided to play with an antique look and I really screwed with the levels..  It's different to say the least..
