raymondh you're too funny... Yep, she definitely can (and does) turns heads when she out and about.
Those sparkling haze-blue eyes have a hypnotic effect on nearly all who graze upon them...
And those vibrant scarlet red tresses do not go unnoticed in a crowd.
Very photogenic to say the least...
Many thanks for your awesome reflections on Melanie Ann's image and your continuing support...
Greatly appreciated! Cheers...

Thank you so much for your kind words Vickie they are greatly appreciated!
Yes maybe we when a tad far afield on the dialogue albeit thought might be appropriate and germane.
Not often do we have medical clinicians sharing on this forum.
btw, I'm absolutely mesmerized by your amazing flickr series "Best Buddies"
This epic rendering is so awesome! Totally Love it!

Thank you again for sharing Vickie

Amazing work, Thomas! I tried some for fun with friends outside in open shade and got pores in great detail! Ugh. Now it’s time to learn about smoothing skin. Thanks for the constant inspiration here 😎👍

Thank you so much for your very kind words Craig they are truly appreciated...
As for your recent session... "time to learn about smoothing skin..."
Craig as a bridal makeup artist I can assure you that silky soft smooth skin you see on so many wedding images is a result of the appropriate use of pore filling foundation product set with translucent matte powder (which also kills shine" thus helps to eliminate blown out highlights.)
Wedding shooters simply don't have the time to retouch hundreds of images.
btw, my fav foundation is RCMA Cream Foundation/Concealer palette by Vincent Kehoe (I used with Melanie Ann)
Where to find a makeup artist to collaborate with? Wedding Wire https://www.weddingwire.com
Many commercial MUA's will work for "Trade" meaning you provide beauty genre imagery they need for their book.
It's a win-win scenario

Thanks for sharing more of your secrets, Thomas - it’s informative and useful instead of cagey. I got in some practice with Gaussian blur for just the skin that seemed acceptable for the impromptu session, but now I know what it will take for seriously beautiful results.
You’re the best I’ve seen in portrait photography and in supporting fledglings like me 😎👍

Astonishingly beautiful as usual Thoms. I haven't been on in a while but have actual done a couple of shoots recently I will have to make some time to get on and share. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

I lifetime ago, the girl I married had eyes that were almost always dilated (even more than your model's). Maybe that was part of what attracted me to her. It's a pretty common thing with blue eyed people but they do suffer a lot n bright light.
Your image, as always, is great. I don't have the words to give a critique but it's plain that the hair, makeup and composition are perfect.
