    Very nice work! Subtle enough to not jump out at you, but a definite improvement over the first. Just the right amount IMO.

    And man, working with skin "under" that veil has got to be a PITA. eek7.gif you done good.

    Great job! I hope you don't mind, but I tweaked your copy a little more just to slightly get rid of the blemishes on her forehead and her skin and added just a hint of light to bring out a little more sparkle in her eye..:D

    headscratch.gif Don't mean to offend geospatial, but in your "after" the teeth are yellower, the eyes are duller, and the image is less sharp through the veil overall.

    No worries you didn't offend!

    Hmmmm... I see you have a point. I was really concentrating on the skin tones and totally neglected other parts of her. It is easily fixable though through PS! Personally, I don't like sharp wedding photos UNLESS there are few blemishes on the face.

    The more I look at it, the more I don't like it actually... ne_nau.gif. I guess you could take each eye and change the luminosity and all that jazz (depends on how much time you want to take).

    It's all good because I've been gawking at your "At The End of The Day" landscape photo all day. bowdown.gif
