As we were planning our shoot, Iria said she needed a swimwear look. I wanted lifestyle with my car. We compromised. I think it turned out great. Hope you like it.

I have made sure to keep the original, but I've done this photograph the way you can see here. I've also done it in monochrome.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ABOUT PLACES LIKE THIS.
I passed this place on my way to an appointment yesterday, and I just knew I wanted to photograph it on my way home. That's precisely what I did.

Overall it's not a bad start, although you obliterated the shape of her face by removing that line from the side of her nose down across her cheek. It's fine to soften those things a little but removing them entirely makes her face look odd. Also, her back is overprocessed and lightened up too much. In the after image, my eye is drawn straight to her bright shoulder blades and not her face.
Hope this helps
Thnx for the tip! i will apply the tip in my next images thank you so much :)! About the shoulder thing, i think it is because her face is not as bright as it is in her face, still though its not that bright if i go across with my cursor in photoshop with the information panel.
You're welcome. It's less about what is technically correct according to the program and far more about how an image is perceived by the viewer, but if your client is fine with it then that's all that matters.
Cheers
fair enough :)!
