My Latest Shoot

[PhotoBrody]

Let me know what you think.. the files were a little too big to upload so this is a guest pass link to the flickr gallery - anyone should be able to view it.

Nice lighting and a very attractice model! The cropped foot in #1 REALLY bugs me, and I find the skin rather over-processed for my taste, but other than that, nice work.

Brody, if you want feedback please post HERE 3 to 5 images, numbered and preferably on separate lines so that you and the person giving cc is always on the same image.
It's a real time killer to flip back and forth between here and an external site. As we are going thru these time is not exactly our friend and there are a lot of people asking for CC. You will get much more thorough feedback and help that way.
From what I saw real quick she seems to have a plastic face in them. I like the warm tone to them.

That was on accident, wasn't an edit thing.. There were alot of people around us so we had to work fairly quickly..but I do agree with you.

Thanks MLeeK, I would of had to resize them to upload, it was just easier to post the link. Also, I had the smoothing opacity set to only around 60% any less her skin flaws would have shown.. she had some bumps on her head and face.. so to some people it might appear heavily airbrushed..

Most of us use flickr to post here, Just right click on your image whatever size you want to post and "copy image" then paste here

CUTE GIRL! No matter how the detail was toned down, it looks a little bit too smooth...too faked...

Hmm, I can open up one of the saved sessions and town down the smoothing a little and repost, see if you guys think it looks a little more natural.

Here is a retouch with just 30% opacity on my smooth layer -





Here is one with NO smoothing -

Getting warmer.

Select BB code, follow the steps in my picture.

They look a little too orange but saturating the color too much will do that

I did no saturating, didn't even touch the color in fact. 100% natural lighting. Make sure you know what was done before you assume.

Also, check your monitor..or whatever you're viewing on. Mine is calibrated.

Bordering on too smooth. Great model. A softbox camera left would have made for some nice fill to even out the exposure here.
