Default Beauty Shot Touch-up

Here's a shot of Kate that I was playing around with in Photoshop.

Thanks for looking!

Lovely shot I like some of the extra saturation, but it does seem to be a bit on the red side to me. I would suggest bringing the reds down in the midtones just a bit, and perhaps adding a vignette?

Thanks! I can see the smidgen red excess I can drop it down a bit. There is currently a lightening vignette already on the photo, I can try a dark as well.

Are the edits to her body shape noticeable? Would you think a subject would notice or mind that sort of modification?

I really like the third edit. The vignette adds much. Beautiful, subtle.
