LOL.

I wanted to smooth her skin a little to make it less "goose-bumpy" but my typical skin smooth technique didn't work well.

LOVE it, god rested after creating woman.

Well done. Don't smooth it - much better if it looks real, at least imo.

I agree with KenC--do not smooth the skin..if the skin is smoothed, well, it will then look very fake. The photo looks quite fine as-shown. Just as an aside, I've been looking at more and more images where the amount of skin smoothing and "perfecting" is beginning to creep me out...it's just so,so pervasive in some fields. Celebrity portraiture for example.

Schwetty was hoping so...

Thanks for the input guys. I have more from the session but I am at work and haven't got to really look at them yet.

 

[Trever1t]

your model has great assets...








Sorry, couldn't resist!


Oh and +1 on not smoothing, I find the 'goose bumps' add, not detract from the shot!

 

[Big Mike]

Very nice.

I think that I'd like to see a bit less light on her back...I think it would be just that much better if the light was falling off in that area of the photo. It tends to lead the eye out of the photo, instead of back in.

And yes, no need to smooth out goose bumps...they are not an 'imperfection' that needs to be edited out.

I agree with you but I also like the way it leads you out of the photo. As much as this isn't abstract, I kind of wanted it to be a little abstract. Kind of like a roller coaster. It brings you in, takes you up, then down and then out the frame. Make sense?

I also added a couple more pics.

 

[Trever1t]

That last frame is the winner, art of form.

Thank you, sir.
