Priviet, dear friends!
Want to share with you some of my photos with Katya.
It'll be interesting for me (and I think for her too) to read your opinions and critique. As always, I tried to make different photos. Which one do you like (dont like) and why?
Just going down from so to say 'original' to 'too much PostProcessing'
The first two - have some work with skin only... [small healing brush at 300% increase on pores... and so on]

2

These two - only some work with skin...


3 Harry Behret's method used* /copy layer/multiply blending mode/ blur-> Gaussian blur (how you need)/ set opacity to what you need/

*of course not only this one... :-)
The following 3 were worked up with the help of free downloaded plugins for PP - www.optikvervelabs.com

4

Spasibo for your patience - too much photos!
Waiting for comments and critique,
Yuri

    Yuri,

    #1 is to die for! Just plain excellent!

    #2 and #3 have a different skin color to them. Nothing bad, just different from the first. Very smooth skin.

    #4 and #5 and #6, I think full color works much better on this young lady.

    #5 and #6, I believe I see some freckles. I love freckles. Were they objectionable?

    I like her pose and her smile in #1 and #4 best.

    Altogether, #1 is my choice by far.

    Thanks,

    Excellent shots, as usual. #1 is great, but #3 is a grabber, those eyes, wow.

    Hi, Yuri
    I like 3 & 6 the best.
    I would like to see a color photo of number 6.
    I love the poses she did.
    Did you instruct her oh which way to pose?

    Take Care,
    Chuck,

    Another lovely lady Yuri - they are all stunning, but I really like #3 & 4 (can't give you any reason why I like them over the rest). I'd really like to see #4 in color. I'm not sure that I like the grain in #5 and 6.

    Love #6! - including the BW and tone. Bet the color version would be striking too!
