Sorry if these are too big. First time uploading directly from computer.

the first has too much skin smoothing, the second has too little contrast, the third too much contrast

but overall the are good

Very very nice but some over-processing for sure, eyes could've used reflector or fill in #2?

It may just be me, but it almost looks like there is some motion blur in 2 and 3 (camera shake maybe). I agree with marmots on the skin smoothing, but I like how 1 is composed.

I like skin smoothing, guess just a preference. I have done a few teenagers before and they are all worried about their break-outs/blemishes. I do agree #2 has a bit of motion blur and needs more contrast.

I think the skin smoothing is too much - her skin looks fake. Nothing wrong with skin smoothing but maybe go a little lighter so it looks more realistic. Not sure how you do the skin smoothing but lowering the opacity of the brush or layer or whatever will hide flaws but still keep some texture to the skin so it doesn't look plasticky fake. Other than that I think you did a good job! Looks like you have nice weather finally!

Yes, finally nice weather Hope all is well with the pregnancy, not much longer! Will work on lowering that skin smoothing
