amazing, almost looks not real...but not sure how about the skin texture look on her pores tho...wondering if some smoothing would look better....but incredible nonetheless!
A question: Is the look of her skin makeup or post-processing? I'm guessing makeup, but you can do some amazing things in software these days.
And one more: What is the lighting setup? Based on the catch lights, I see two lights. One is big. An octabox or umbrella? Just to the left of the camera?? The other is smaller and higher? Maybe a reflector? It gives a lovely soft look, however, you did it.
I tend to enhance the pores on the skin to add more texture. Trying to go for that very detailed image

Thanks alot Daven. It was a one light set up with a reflector below. The reflector is what u can see that looks like a huge light source. I tend to shoow with small octaboxes instead of a beauty dish now. I love that soft light it produces vs the hard light of the beauty dish. I'll probaly post some before and after images just to show my retouching.

The lighting and framing are superb. I do however express the same concern as some other about the skin. While I don't like the plastic look that some tend to achieve by overly post processing the image, the first thing I noticed is how sharp the skin texture was. I'd just touch down a bit - not too much, just a little. But they are lovely images nonetheless.

Nice images! I prefer the first one because you can see her eyes and eyelashes better
In addition to the skin issues already mentioned I think that the color of her skin is not matching in her face, hands and neck. Maybe I'd fine tune that a bit.
Thanks alot..i'll work on matching those tones better.
