What do you think?

I think you've done a great job , but having such a gorgeous sister/model does help. Dana is clearly very photogenic and you've done her proud, these are excellent as is the complete set on flickr, well done jprime

Default They look great.

The portraits of your sister look great. You did a wonderful job. Big question is what does she think?

The post processing isnt too obvious is it? I touched up her eyes to make them pop in each picture, and I worked to clone out any of that dreaded high school acne. I didnt want them to look overly airbrushed though.
