Seriously Donatas? Every single picture you put always attractive people. If I was single, I will save my money to go to Lithuania. Come on.... put up some not so attractive people as well.. be realistic!!

Thanks! I work on seperate color channels (RGB) by adjusting every single of them and then blending together.

Oh, sorry for my english... I am a Canon guy. I use only L class optics and still more loving fixed focal lenght ones.

Gorgeous set, #12 is my personal favorite. I like the posing and the dark background, it really helps the model pop.

Donatas, do you smoothen the skin with PP? You told me once you dont manipulate your photos.

The skin is NOT retouched, I did nothing to it. All I did is just conversion to BW. I always try not to retouch or smoothen skin, because in a result, original looks better, and I hate plastic look. In this case overall photo contrast and levels adjustments also affected brightness of the skin tones only. But on purpose smoothening or blurring skin...no way! In some photos bokeh does its work too.

very VERY nice! well done!

Thank you!
