As part of our World Tour project, Cyndi appears in an authentic sari and jewelry borrowed from an Indian friend.

Feel free to comment on the gray/whte background if you must BUT remember that these are base images which are to be composited with backgrounds of Indian scenery. As such, the BKG is not my primary concern.

As always, CLICK THE FIRST IMAGE for the full Gallery.

    Hair.... :cry It's good in 6, but everywhere else it distracts and/or just doesn't look Indian. Given how much y'all have put into this project, I think a bunch of cloning and "digital hair extensions" is definitely worth the time and effort to get the full effect. Just my 2 rupees....

    Nice idea Diva. I really needed my art director/daughter in law with us but she was ill. She's great at these details.
    If I can figure out what to do and how to do it right, I'm gonna steal those ideas from you.

    Thanks as always.

    By the way, next up is Japan in full Geisha makeup and formal Kimono from Japan. That's in June after our model cruise to the Bahamas (of course I'm bringing Cyndi Laughing.gif).

    #2 is a stunner, I'm not even paying attention to the gap in the BG in one spot.

    Great set, one nitpick. In picture 1, the shadow below her stomach as well as the curve of the cloth makes it appear she has a belly roll. Obvious she doesn't but maybe some dodging and smudging to straighten the curve would be good.

    Thanks jon. I see it and she definitely has no belly role. Trust me on that one or see 4 and 6 .. Laughing.gif

    Thanks for the heads up.
