Thanks.... My major fear is that I will play around with the pictures too much.

Seneca

Good...just crop that image a little bit more.

Yeah - remember it's all about time management if you're in this business. Just get it done and be done with it. I can post process my images in about 5 minutes each. That's sharpening, burning, dodging, filters, eye popping and skin softning (if needed). Of course if I need to clear acne, then that's another 5 minutes or so, just to make sure it looks good.

Your learning is showing...good job.

ya, I have gotten a lot faster then I used to be. What do you do to get the eyes popping.

Seneca

Well give me a large enough image (like a headshot) and I'll correct the eyes for you.

Well I am at my Day job (dental Assistant/receptionist) and don't have any good pictures here.... I will double check though.

sharpening on the 1st picture looked good. Very crisp and good pop. I did not like it on the 2nd photo of the boy. I think it sharpened his skin blemished under the eyes (the little red dots) and some others such that it brings too much attention to them. Also the boys nostrils are "too defined" imo and distract.
