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.

Hey Jarrett, I'll critique this a bit as you made time to critique my work as well :) The retouching in my opinion is so strong we're moving into uncanny valley territory, if you have all these edits on separate layers could you back all of them off/reduce capacity by about 50% and post the result? Case in point is where her arms are so smooth but also have red saturation to the point you'd never see arms like these in real life. As for her face I'd back off the highlights a bit and smoothen the transitions a bit, did you paint in the highlights?
Interesting points. I would like to see the edited version
Added a 3peat and eased back on the intensity for the edit. Agreed, you were right, tone it down man, tone, it, down.
Much better! Restraint is hard sometimes, but well worth it :)
EXCELLENT
