While they may not have done the edits the way you did, they still look great. I think both of their edits are well done and both give a different feel for the photo.

Leonaashlee I think you have some really winning poses here. I would double check your white balance, if you shoot in raw this should be a very easy thing to fix. If you don't, just double check it while you have a couple days left to shoot!

I believe my comments were appropriate- One has not only lost the tan,but over blurred the facial features, the other one has made the person white-I tell the truth, I fool no-one. There is no derogatory intent in my comments, just the plain facts. Regards, ken

Whoa people....calm down. I can see the benefits of all the retouches and I appreciate the help more than I can say. Different people like different effects and they are all good. I do not want to be the cause of any hard feelings on the forums, so please just respect each others work and leave it at that.

No worries Leona
I was just trying to help a friend, protrait not my thing ( as you know )
I won't comment on re-posting my suggestion because we simply don't need drama, just photography lol

No worries Weezer, I'm sure Jody and I will get over it quickly...

ok, over it but it was nice of you to make a point.

it's just photography not egos

Vin
