The PP on these is completely overboard, which is a shame, because the
model and the poses are really nice.
Bernard - please don't take this as a slam or anything negative. I looked at these photos and really liked them and didn't see evidence of too much PP. To educate me, if no one else, can you expand on your comment with a couple of specific comments - pointing to specific instances in these photos that exhibit what you are talking about. I feel really dense and want to correct that.

Whether there is too much PP or not is, of course, a matter of opinion. I think
it's overdone in these, especially on the first picture. Specifically:
Her eyes look unnatural. The whites are too white and they're completely
flat (you can also see this in the left part of the right eye of the pretty lady
in picture 4).
The areas under her eyes are way too smooth.
In fact, her whole face is too smooth. There is not a single wrinkle on her
entire face. It looks unnatural. The extreme smoothness works in pictures like
the last two, because they're high-key(ish), but it doesn't work (in my opinion)
on skin with so much texture.
But, again, this is just my opinion. I like the photos anyway, and I think the
models are beautiful. They don't need any PP, as far as I'm concerned.
After staring at these pictures for quite a while I am going to have to agree with Bernard on the pp. I like the photos, and most of the poses (love 6 & 7). They are beautiful girls, but there is a fake, air brushed quality about there faces and eyes they are almost to perfect.

Not at all.
For the record, so did I. Especially the last two.
