After a re-edit:

Re-edit is much better. Not nearly as many blown highlights. Highlights still noticeable (chin, nose, eyebrow, knee) but acceptable IMO. The part of her dress where you cloned out the flowers from the other bridesmaid still looks 'off', but may likely pass a casual look-over. My only real suggestion is that if you're going to remove ppl, gates and cars, you should probably remove the two white specks on her dress (one on leg, and other on crease line next to the breast). Looks like you were able to dial down the noise too, ++

You didn't remove the dress like i suggested

You didn't remove the dress like i suggested

I thought i had implied clearly enough that that was not to happen. Do you have any useful critiques?

next to her right shoulder you can tell where you overprocessed the pics and there is a halo occuring.

I love the crop and the edit, but the color just stands out too much. idk what it is. try a nice black and white

I personally added the color to keep the same color for consistency with the other photo's already edited.

Oh god. You did MORE pictures in that style?! The mind boggles.

You mean you don't like the style...?

No. To me, it looks unflattering and not "vintage" at all (which IIRC was what you mentioned you were going for in the previous thread). Your SOOC was much better than this edit. A simple B&W conversion would be better.

 

[D-B-J]

A simple B&W conversion sucked. To each his own, as they say.

Why do you think this edit is flattering?
