A photo retouch..

[Rabieshund]

Here's something a client wanted me to do. She had been to a photographer, but he knew nothing about Photoshop, so she let me retouch her photos.
The lighting wasn't so interesting in the originals, so that's what I focused on. I made highlights and more defined shadows. Made in Photoshop CS.

Here's the first one of the photos. There are two more, but this one is my favourite.

Nice job. The skin is a little overdone for my taste, but it is an improvement. I might try a blend of the two.

Thanks. I wanted the kinda plastic look on the skin, but I get your point.

Actually I like the skin tone. It has a real smooth look to it. Nice photo.

 

[Rabieshund]

Thanks, she liked them too.
