Thanks for looking.

People like you are destroying the human perception of beauty.

And, your work is good. well done.

Well done - they look good

Also - a bit related, i came across http://www.nata2.info/humor/pictures...ftwochests.jpg earlier... =)

I know what you mean... I feel bad sometimes about what I do... but I have to give the market what it sells.

Thanks.

Nice work.

Thanks
 

Thanks for looking :thumbsup

What I really want is feedback for them... my portfolio has to be perfect for me to get my name across

Yeah nice, but they are still very beautiful originally

Yes they are models from elle, thanks

Picture 1 is the best but you make her look like an albino. You sure have skill but the software you are using is also excellent.
Picture 2 you forgot (or didn't pay attention) to the "zit" at the right top corner of her lower lip.
Picture 3 A bit of gausian blur, level adjustments and that is pretty much it.

Still feel free to post more of your work, I do think you are turning people almost in digital art or video game characters. Not breaking your work down since I know how difficult it is to keep things realistic but you asked for feedback.

Not at all...

I think glamour, fashion photography and CG are becoming every time more a like, not sure it's a good thing though.

I don't really like the 3 edit.
The first one, I love. It was my intention to turn her into a really pale (without desaturating it) beauty.

Thanks for your feedback.

All three are technically good. The first one is a little overdone, and makes the girl look a little too lifeless and pasty. The second one is excellent work that improves her look without over doing it. The third one, well... no matter how you work it, that nose is just too much.

Nice work I like it

not a bad job at all

Yes, I agree about the nose... I'm redoing it

I love the first one! The red head, the gosht look. I don't know, just like it.
I don't usually like my final images (perfectionist) but this one, I wouldn't change a thing

I have to bump me up...

For the night watchers

pretty good work :thumbsup

very nice work

Thanks both

nice work man

#1 reminds me of that ice witch lady from that narnia movie. Reminds me a lot of the old portrait styles from the Elizabethan era as well, very nice.

#2 is a negroid so unfortunately my eyes automatically closed and I gagged out of disgust, so I can?t comment here.

#3 is a bit on the plain side but I still like it (especially how it shows how shiny her hair is? I like shiny things http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/4...gtonguena3.gif), very glamourshotish (it's a word god damn it!) I like it :)

i think you did a great job on those

nice work :thumbsup

looks great!

nice work but who in this industry are you doing retouching for? it's hard enough to find people who'll pay a buck fifty for an exclusive photo - find it hard to believe anybody will pay what a professional retoucher charges.

what do you charge?

Very nice work, I've always been fascinated with people who can do that type of stuff.

nice work, your work with the skin textures are great

Great work, Natalia!

very good job! :thumbsup

It depends on the pic. For the ones I'm showing here... $20 to $40 per pic.

But it's a case by case situation.

I like your work, I have had to produce similar results in the past, I know what this can involve, so well done indeed.

Well done. Really nice photos.

looks good

I thought photoshop was a soap that made your skin look like that :(

You're obviously meticulous with your particular method of editing although it's not at all close to how I like to see a picture edited. For me if I can look at an edited picture (without seeing the original) and know that it's obviously been manipulated then it's not a good edit.

Your works looks great

Actually... I think ♣2 It's a Beautiful black girl :) So I'm just going to ignore your comment

Feel free. Some people like shaven apes, some don't. I'm in the don't category if you couldn't tell. :thumbsup

Let him do it, he is doing it great!

I don't think they look retouched. But each eye sees diferently :)

very well done buddy good work....some of the original pix are actually scary

Hey that's a little mean... they are nice girls :)

1st and 2nd pics look retouched, 3rd i can't tell. I don't like retouching in most cases and specially for web usage.

but you did better job than most do :)

Let HER do it, SHE is doing great :) I'm a female


Thanks by the way

Nice Work! :thumbsup

Looks good. The first one is a little ghostly but all in all ... nice job.

show your pussy, untouched

Good Stuff! :thumbsup

Photoshop rules :)

It's easy to improve big and h/q pics. But how about the small ones like this ;)
