My Brides

Here's a few with my new D90 and 85mm I'm trying to decide whether or not to get PS or LR for my next editing upgrade...or both?! I use PSE7 and CS4 at my school....hmmm?

Are you looking for a critique or just advice on software?

BOTH would be GREAT.

Usually specific questions are asked for critiques.

I think both are nice pictures, but I personally think they are a little too "photoshopped". Mainly the second one. It looks like a awesome shot, but her eyes look a little fake.

Outstanding work.

I would go with Photoshop! Those pictures are amazing however for the second one,I recommend adding a pure black pupil.

Thanks!!!

I didn't use photoshop on either! She has beautiful eyes! I really just enhanced the yellow and golds and airbrushed her skin, not much else on that 2nd photo.

Thanks for the input! I like random ideas on the photo's I post.... like what's the first thing that you think of when you see it so thanks!!

spham thanks! I didn't even realise the reflection in the window was causing that! Thanks!! I'll try the tutorial too!

I really like both shots, as far as angle and everthing. You have a great style of shooting and you used the lighting well.

Editing on the close up photo.....
1. Her skin looks a little too fake for my taste.
2. Her left eye (our right) -- It appears that some blue is overlapping her eyelid.

Those are the only things I would work on. I also agree with full black pupils.

You'll want Photoshop. Much more overall control...
