I know next to nothing about portrait photography. That said, I think these look great.
Thanks, Vic. ( Except for the crappy one)
It really didn't look that bad at 4 in the morning.

Willard, your 2nd, 3rd and 4th shot are great portraits of a beautiful young lady, the !st one, not so much, those eyes were freaky.
At least I know how to do freaky eyes now.

What processing program are you using to get the overcooked look? It really isn't flattering.
Deb, I just got portrait pro and am trying it out.
Much to learn. As in, don't let it go freaky on the skin.

the first photo her head is angled wrong, the second photo, if that is her leg on the bottom left, what is it doing there?
Have to agree with whoever said you had a beautiful girl but ruined her.

It is really easy to over-process in Portrait Pro. You need to ensure that the finished photo doesn't look like a doll or doesn't look unreal. The best place to start is to revert to the original photo rather than starting with the suggested changes that PP makes when you first upload your image.It always changes the shape of the head and face along with a number of other changes. When you actually start processing with your original image, you will get a much truer finished photo.

Willard, Lexi is beautiful and I think you did a very nice job! I’m not a portrait expert, but the eyes look fine to me. Perhaps a little less processing on the skin.

Lex has brilliant green eyes that I have always have to tone way down or they look like they're glowing. Wasn't careful enough.
Lydia Paige's are the same way, only blue.

Second shot it much better. The posing is good and the face is not overcooked. The first one looks like an overdone Portrait Pro adjustment. Been there, done that, but not with such a beautiful model.
Exactly it.

Thanks, Jimmy, but I do have to agree with the comments about the one shot. It looked pretty sick, but not in a good way. Lesson learned on that one.

Thanks, Deb. I'll get it.

A single issue: Over processed. You need to control that.
Best bet is to go slowly and keep comparing before/after each edit then the original/finished.
Only by experimenting will you reach a comfortable and acceptable (to you) result.
Good luck and do not give up.

Of note to many posters:
Who gives a flipping care about the model appearance? Would you just condemn this because the subject does not meet your (unwanted) approval?

Probably my last post on this thread. Thanks, R.
as I have said many times, this is an new program to me. I think 3 of the first 4 were o.k., and I was able to salvage the bad one with a re-do.
Thanks for your voyeurism and comments. I do appreciate it from all.

is the consolidation of different subjects/ pictures of the same subject automatic?
I like it when I can submit individuals shots and get comments on each one separately.
Also, if I do submit a bummer and want to retract, is there a way for the poster to remove a submission after the edit period?
