Nice try ilham, but not what I was looking for.

And Breaking Midnight Edits, your photo has way too much contrast and blown out highlights. Thanks, anyway

If you're looking for something specific, you should probably try a casting call and pay someone for their time.

Excuse me but I was just being honest. I wasn't mad or patronizing, I just said I wasn't looking for that particular style. Also, I clearly mentioned that the photos are for individual portfolios and if I like them, I'm gonna request the full size. I haven't twisted anyone's arm into retouching them and I was just saying my opinion. What do you expect from me ? To say that I like them when I'm looking for something different ?  Hope you understand.

I put the bold there myself.....everybody needs a reminder now and then.

People contributing images are free to offer feedback, of course. But when the dialogue takes on the tone of a client rejecting a proof submission from a hired editor, then that line gets close to being crossed.

I will never submit an image then say 'Not good enough for my needs', nor would I do an edit for somebody who sounds like they are looking to get their 'work for free'.

I am not intending to single out the OP, this happens far too frequently on this thread, and the mods should keep a tighter grip on things.

People submit pics, PS guys play with them, submitter says 'cool', that's that.

If you want to behave like a  'playing client', then be one...there are plenty of PS people who will do your work for scale.

Thank you!

I totally agree with you and that's my objective when posting in these forums. If I expect something else from a retouch, I don't nag people how it should be done, I'm "cool" with what they have done and they can keep the retouched file and use it in their portfolio as a "reward" for the time they spent processing the file.

Hope I made myself clear.
