Nothing much really done to them, some clean up, brightness and curves, color grading. Can be used in social media with credit ?

The only extra thing I might consider is the eye color but that's just personal preference. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing you cool edit! Mar 17 19 09:14 am Link Mar 17 19 09:16 am Link RetouchSpace wrote: These are terrific edits and I love them all. Like you say, just subtle and authentic looking enhancements that make a big difference overall in providing a polished look. FYI, I'm bummed about the first pic (not your edit) because the plan was to have her leaping as waves hit the rocks behind her and exploded into dramatic background spray. Sadly the waves didn't cooperate! Haha. Mar 17 19 09:23 am Link Radical Snaps wrote: Thanks for your kind words. Well i am in love with all your captures and wanted to work on all however due to time limitations i tried my skills on only these three. My aim was to make them more punchy and dynamic.

I'm particularly impressed with your quality sharpening which one or two of those pics definitely benefited from. I like the consistency across the pics and your subtle enhancements. Cheers!
