Probably the last one of Bridget.I like the eye contact on this one,the position of her hair & the effect of the light/shadow on her face.
I just had one wee niggle with this one,the slightly harsh light across the bridge of her nose,just couldn't get rid of it !
Used Alienskin & Matt's eye tutorial although I don't think her beautiful eyes need any enhancement.

for me...the right catchlight is a little harsh and her skin has lost texture in large areas.

Thankyou.
Keith I left the right eye catchlight alone as I thought it was enough,should I have toned it down a little ?
Maybe I will take it down & have another go with it.

Janet - youve done a cracking job on this one - I wasn't sure about the eyes at first but coming back they do look stunning - love the crop too,

well done

It's just the catchlight in her right eye is clearly a softbox

Its certainly great quality but she looks a little bug eyed to me as her head is inclined forward slightly, but well composed and a good pout'.

Yes I see your point Keith,the shape is a bit obvious,something I should have noticed !!should I have modified it by cloning some of it out,or infact turned her head a little to avoid the whole shape across her eye?

Janet,she's a cracker,love the detail,eyes,expression.She is a stunner,I think her make up is heavy under the eye,i would have asked her to make it a bit lighter but that is personal preference.Brilliant series of portraits.Take care.AnnSmile

Lovely model Janet and a good portrait . Perhaps a wee bit of powder would help the bright light across her nose ? xx

A really good portrait Janet, but that comes from someone who is very weak in this area. I have uploaded a mod that may go some way to address the areas that bothered you.
The work on the eyes has gone a bit too far for me. It adds terrific impact to the thumbnail, but I find that looking at the large version for any time creates a feeling of a painted doll, in that the eyes seem too perfect and therefore a little artificial. As you say, I am sure that Bridget has beautiful eyes anyway and perhaps a little less work is needed. Personal view of course. Great work.
