How to get this effect??

[Chancepics]

Does anybody know how to get that shiney almost glassy looking effect that Jill greenberg and a few others I have seen use. I tried blur and a bunch of filters with overlays but cant seem to get it.
Thanks everybody

I wouldn't be using any blur effects; these images are razor sharp. Part of this is due to rather contrasty lighting and part of it is a LOT of burning and dodging.

[i speak in math]

Lighting is the biggest part of it. Without the right lighting, you can't get the contrasting tones you want. Pretty sure she uses a ringflash. Another is the PP and lots of sharpening techniques. Dodge and burn is certainly a part as well.

yea I figured her lighting was a big part it just seems unusually glassy then others.

I know how to recreate the first pic. Just tell my 7 year old she's grounded lol! Seriously she looks just like her when she's angry! Sorry its not very helpful to to the OP but my husband and I POSL when we saw the pic.

I would guess some type of HDR type PP tool was involved somewhere.

Using some kind of HDR would be my guess as well.
