Umm, did you get permision to use those photos... Some guys are kinda
touchy about that, even with your disclaimer.

 

Lovely work. The only thing I found that I thought / felt was wrong
was a matter of what one could call artistic interpretation. The pale
blond with the scraggy hair obviously was going for the dying waif
look. The more natural skin tones you gave her put some health into
the picture. It would have seemed more 'natural' to me for you just
to even out her pale skin, leaving her with a nice almost corpse like
white glow.

When doing glam shots of women, especially those who've done their own
makeup, it's a good idea to keep an eye on whatever line they stop
with the colours and powders. The pouty brunette cutie had learned
not to stop at the jaw line, but had forgotten that she had on a vee
neck and let her makeup go at or just above the collarbone. Hard to
get an even blend there, but worth the effort.

It was nice to see how much more glamorous a glam shot can be with
some nice after work. Inspiring.

Welcome. I like the effect of before/after on the site.

If you hang around this NG for a bit, plus comp.graphics.apps.photoshop, I
think you'll learn a lot. You seem to be doing quite well with the learn-by-
doing mode.

Thanks for sharing, and again, welcome.

Here again I empathize!

Nice work!
