Made the changes suggested, really appreciate the feedback. Also slightly toned down the contrast and increased the cross processing to enhance the mood.

>would be interesting to see the original threads these were posted in.I found that one on a Sony website with sample raws to promote their cameras, not a thread. Only the beauty images come from the Model Mayhem challenge threads.
>>3183465Thanks so much for the critique, good eye spotting the haloing on the shins. Corrected the stuff you mentioned.
>>3183321Nice clean edit, well done. No need to include the reflector at the bottom
though.
>>3183674First don't forget to resize to 1000px on the longest. Contrast is too high, resulting in blobby black areas in her hair. Detail on the left forehead looks really nice, but doesn't seem like you spent the same amount of time on the rest of the skin - there's lots of high frequency blemishes on her cheeks that could be removed. The low frequency texture is a bit blurry, and the highlights are looking kinda oily. Probably has to do with the blurriness of the LF and the contrast being too high. The grungy shadow to the left of the mouth is drawing my eye. Iris' could be brighter and more detailed. Skin color is leaning towards the orange side. Thanks for contributing.
