It was freezing and I'm really thankful she persevered! CC and other comments welcome!

Nice lighting matched with the smooth skin texture wonderfully.

Hi,

Of this set, I prefer 2, 4, 5.

The others have odd skin tones and some make her face look like a plastic mask (1, 3) with one image having a number of shadows on her face that make it look lumpy (1).

Of all of them I prefer the last one.

Hi,

Thanks!

I've only started learning about retouching skin. I only stuck with one method so far which means I have a long road ahead of me.

Really appreciate the comments so far!

You have some good shots here, but you should have brought a reflector. Though on such a windy day it wouldn't have been any fun trying to keep it from sailing away in to the East River.

#1 is nice, but the shadow from her hair on the left side of her face is distracting. Also, her skin looks too plastic.

In #2 you need to pump some light on her from the waist down.

In #3 I'd like to see more light on the left side of her face.

By the way, as to retouching skin, it's not needed all the time. She looks like she has great skin, I don't see why it needs to be retouched. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should do it.

4 is the only one that does anything for me. Just MHO.

Are you using a "wide" lens on these??
Great stuff by the way.

I'll reprocess the ones with the overprocessed skin and mess with some settings.

I used the canon 17-55mm lens for these shots..my workhorse lens
