can you see the big edit??

[courtney23cy]

I'm not PS pro but I tried a major edit with this image and want to know if its super obvious. I don't want to say what it is cause if you cant tell then that's great. Other critiquing would be great as well... does their skin tone look too greyish and are the wrinkles int the brown blanket too distracting? Thanks

Was there some work done on the older girl's neck?

Skin tones look just the tiniest bit greyish. Try doing a color balance layer and adding in the tiniest bit of yellow. It seems to have enough red/magenta.

Very cute!

Nothing is really JUMPING OUT, except for maybe the girls neck on the right? It looks like there is some sort of line going down the middle of it...but I can't tell if that's your Photoshopping or just the way the light is falling. Honestly, I'm looking hard for some serious editing...and I'm not seeing it jump out, so I guess you win.

BUT...it does look a bit on the gray side. Granted, I'm sure these kids don't lay in the tanning bed too often, it might still use a little warming?

The line on her neck is actually just her neck, its that vein that's kinda popping out from turning her head... I will warm up the photo a bit, thanks for the input. Then the brown blanket isn't bugging anyone?

The blanket doesn't bother me.

No, not really. Although I guess now that you mention it, it does seem a bit odd that they are sitting on a brown blanket over (a bean bag?) in the middle of a botanical garden? haha

Seriously, it looks good. Can we see the original?

[courtney23cy]

For the life of me I couldn't get these two girls to even look in the same general direction let alone smile at the same time, so its actually two different photo's I pieced together. So glad no one could tell I was afraid it would be obvious. I asked my husband to try to figure out what didn't look right so of course he starts picking everything apart in an attempt to make a right guess... so I decided to ask you guys instead

[courtney23cy]

and yes, they are on a bean bag, haha... we had to hurry and throw this little "shoot" together before they headed back to Nevada. So we had to work with what we had available which was a neon pink bean bag and brown blanket

Oh I think I see it now, but I think you did GOOD!

Nicely done.
