Natural Light Retouching

After watching Dani Diamond's tutorials over and over again on natural light photography and retouching, I have really come to love shooting without strobes. It feels like starting photography all over again but with a reward of knowing what I am doing.

Below are before and after images of Meagan, my muse.

Hey man,

I think the toning in the retouch is too yellow (maybe a bit too green). You did a good job of bringing her exposure back up in the retouch after underexposing. I really don't like the placement of your logo, it was a big distraction for me. The crop is tough because the horizon is tilted, but it looks like Meagan might be too if you straighten it, but the curb she's sitting on make the angle very obvious. Your sun flare is done well :)

Thank You Mike! Really appreciate it!
