closed, thanks everyone for their grades, given me lots to think about

hi, i really like this shot, but im not loving the grading, i really love that high fashion look, with added cyan etc, have a play and see what you can do to improve it, nothing crazy please. i know this isn't just a jpeg but it should be enough to show your grading skills.

[please dont post in your portfolio without permision, post here and i will let you know if you can use]

im looking for a retoucher to collaborate with as im getting more busy and need a permanent retoucher i can rely on and trust, im regularly testing and looking to submit so if i like the work you do then hopefully we can do alot more work together.

looking forward to seeing you results

Thanks in advance

Quick edit - drove cyan into the shadows, and slight yellow to the mids and highlights. Some quick D&B to emphasize some shadows further. Oh, and matched the tone of the face to the rest of the body, as on the original photo it wasn't as saturated as elsewhere.

What an awesome model! Great photography, amazing fashion. Nice shot. Added just a bit of texture to the face to match up with the arms.

i think it shows her skin colour off beautifully,  but not loving the texture on the face, get what you are going for but i think faces look better a bit smoother, but again another interesting take
