Brad - really suprised this did not score higher. This is outstanding work and has such a natural glow about it. It helps that you have a very pretty model to work with, but you did a great job of getting a relaxed pose and fantastic lighting.

Thanks for what I consider an ultimate compliment on my image Cole.
To be compared with Gary, well, what can I say but wow!

And thanks to all that left such positive and complimentary words on this.

Thanks Steve.
Wassup with the dark circles or the hiring part ;)

Here is the original:


I am trying really hard to not make my shots a PS creation, just natural enhancements.
I am getting there as far as getting it right in-camera, all in manual mode, including flash.

A very nice editing job on this one, everything looks smooth but not overdone. Very magazine-esque.

Very nicely done. Id prefer it if her eyes weren't obscurred by her fringe.
