Hey guys. I know i know record posting for images in the first 48 hours (when I'm keen on something i don't give up)

So i posted a photoshop thread last night and got some feedback that really did help so here is attempt #2

Basically i fixed up the spots in the skin, and did a blurring technique that Matt K. had replied with.

I'm posting 3 versions.

The original. A copy where i had done the altercations. A copy where at the end i looked at it and couldnt figure out what was missing to give it that final "Snap" so i through over a lighting effect and increased the gloss and brought in the lighting effect obviously.

So here we go.

The Original


The first Edit


The last edit with lighting effect on it


Really looking foward to your feedback guys.

Thanks and sorry for so many post`s asking for feedback so soon

Regards

Jay

I prefer the first one. The PP on the face is too much on the others.

YMMV

Jay, It is great that your wife is a willing model.

I think both of your treatments here work pretty well, but I do not like the original shot
because of the bars. I can see what you were tring to do, but I really don't think it has
worked, the bars are intrusive instead of being interesting. Just my opinion.

Anyway, I probably prefer the effect on the last one, it is a good soft finish with a
pleasant glow.
