Obvious editing?

[Palladius]

Hi,

A mate of mine has asked me to edit a couple of photos that she's using to apply for a job. I'm not quite sure what she expects, but I'm still pretty new to this. Also, (if I'm making excuses!) the photos are pretty rubbish phone-camera, taken-at-party, snapshot affairs... so it's taken some pretty heavy handed PPing. Coupled with my inexpert technique, we could be on to a loser, here!



Basically, I'm wondering if this is obviously edited... is it obvious to you guys, as people who are experienced at this kind of thing, would it be obvious to an average person, or does it just scream 'Edited'?

Cheers very much

Looks ok. But what is the job she is seeking ?

Hahaha.... it's in a strip-club!

Not, she assures me repeatedly and emphatically, as a dancer, though. Like a waitress or hostess or something? I'm not really sure... Apparently, the photos are designed to show that she's pretty, vivacious and fun-loving. Personally, any employers that wanted photos of me before they'd employ could beggar right off*


*Not least because no job is likely to offer me an interview if they already knew what I looked like....

it does not "scream" edited but I would straighten out the backgound layer - and then put her in there - and I love the Angel and Devil thing...very cute.
