Default Warm up.

*Disclaimer: I am fully aware that I've managed to achieve the awesome glass-eyed look from oversharpening *

Ok with that out of the way, just wanted an opinion on her skin tone. I'm trying to learn how to warm up skin a bit, and just blundering about a little but I thought this turned out decent. Strangely enough I feel she looks a bit paler on flickr than the original appears here but w/e.

And I know ya'll love the giant blow out on the side of her head!!!
Don't worry this was just me trying to figure out my 50mm.

Looks like you did a great job on the skin tones! Definitely an improvement there.
But to me, in the second one, her eyes look kind of fake. And her hair did look better in the first one... in the second one, it looks like the left side of her head is on fire. I don't know if there is a way to fix that or not, seeing that I'm not a picture-editing genius.

Ty for the reply . Yea I'm aware I overdid her eyes quite a bit (hence the disclaimer) and I'm not really worried about the blow out in her hair as this was more of an exercise in skin warming for me. Thanks for the input, glad to know it looks good to you!
