CC on processing please

[danchez]

I've been working on a new processing technique. When I am working on them I think they look good, but when I finish, I am not so sure. Would love to hear what you think good or bad. No need to pull punches, I wont get offended, thanks!

I am not a pro by far....but here is my thoughts. I can tell that she has beautiful fair skin. I think that the colors kill her skin tone, and seems to create darkness in her eyes. Which judging by the picture I think her face was lit well. I would like to see what the image looks like just how it was shot, or with just minor touch-ups. Overall I like the images....I just don't think the PP compliments the model or photograph.

My biggest quibble is that her face is so underexposed when compared to the background. If you shot RAW I'm assuming it could be brought up and masked in

JAG, arich, thanks for the feedback.

I think they are underexposed and too warm/orange, but It looks like a really awesome picture to start with.

thanks Mosephus

Try less contrast. Especially in the hair and face. That might also give the image an overall softer, more inviting feel. I've been seeing similar effects in magazine ads lately, keep going. You have something here.

To me it has the look similar to what I have experienced with Fuji Reala Film. If the film look was your aim, you have done well.

I think she has a good retro look that lends itself to the processing. Maybe a tinge less yellow for me, especially in the second shot.

i like the 2nd one but not so much the first one, probably cause her face pops more,

Steve, Keith, Marshall, appreciate the input, thanks.
