My girlfriend's sister:

I get a fuzzy 70s hippy cd-cover feeling when I look at that image.. :)

Both of them:

Is that last one a bit flat? too much grey?

C&C is as always appreciated :) You guys keep on helping me taking better pictures AND making them better in pp! :thumb

    Why are the faces so much darker than the lower left skin (arm, neck and chest)?

    ...and why are the teeth so white, yet the faces so flat in the bottom pic? The upper pic has much nicer light modeling on her face, but again her teeth seem unaturally light, imo.

    I did use curves to lighten the white in the eyes and the theeth, but i obviously did too much :) I tried to up the s-curve in the last pic, but I don't seem to be able to make them "unflat", but I can try some more. Thanks for your commen!

    There's not much that needs to be done to the first one. I really like it. The light is great. I would tone down the brightness on the teeth and the whites of the her eyes. I would also make use of the healing brush on her lips just a touch and remove a couple of the stray hairs on her forehead.

    #2 The pose and the composition here are very nice and for that reason only would I keep it - as a reference. The light fall off left to right kills this shot. You MIGHT be able to salvage this by cropping it tigher thus loosing the very bright arm, chest, and neck; but I'm not sure.
