Like #2...great shot. The colours, composition, angles all work well.

Also like #4, but the asymmetry of the breasts looks odd.

Agreed any ideas on how to fix it? If someone want to have a play with it (pardon the pun) LOL

I like the lighting on #1. The model is lit up nicely, but if only the steering wheel and unfinished interior were more faded or blacked out to show nothing.

Can't say I'm a fan of the selective colouring in #2, as the coloured bit is the firewall and not the engine - or some other interesting part IMHO.

Being an avid fan of OCC - where’s the chopper 8)

Dan - IMO the car is more beautiful than the model :shock:

Very quick PS attempt. LOL

I reckon the lighting in your original shot caused the odd look. Probably needed to be softer and more central...judging from the shadows.

hi dan, if you lighting was more frontal, filter>liquify>bloat can be used to balance any differences due to pose.

this has side lighting, so it has less effect.

another option might be to select the left half of the image, edit>transform>free transform (or warp). small adjustments make big impact.

It was a quick repair job. Nothing flash

Clone tool, soft brush, reduced opacity. Just put the breast shadows in
Then added a touch of noise in with the noise filter to disguise the cloning action a bit.
