Beautiful young woman; of course, I completely block things like that out when viewing and critiquing images. In fact, the real challenge is shooting someone who is very ordinary, or worse, overweight etc. That's really hard
I like the first one, I like the rim light (the sun?) on her hair and the pattern of the buildings.
Do you mind if I post a slight edit? If not I totally understand!

Thank you everyone. And I'm sorry, but I am not okay with others editing my images.
beautiful work and gorgeous young lady. portraits and such are not my cup of tea but I've seen some of your other posts and your work is consistently wonderful...or is it wonderfully consistent?
couldn't give you advice on raising teenagers if my life depended on it, however I'm sure she (and her friends) understand that this brief time in their lives is meant to be shared with friends. as opposed to a time-consuming relationship that always seems to end close friendships w/peers. nothing wrong with those who do date throughout high school, but looking back now 20 years later (!) and the stress I created for myself was so unnecessary and pointless
Lisa, you do great work. Not sure if you want any feedback other than praise (which is always challenging to offer to a more accomplished photographer). Those "popping eyes," as Max said above, seem a bit too strong and have an unrealistic look to them to me (obviously I'm in the minority of opinions here). Skin smoothing is one of those forever arguable points, but here it just seems unnatural as well. A few pores here, a blemish there, what the heck...it gives character.
(OK...ready to take shots from all those LH fans out there. Actually, I am one myself )

Agreed and the color could use some improvement... I would love to offer up a few subtle changes, but she said no

This is an image of Lisa's daughter which will surely become a family heirloom. I'm sure she has processed the image to her, and her daughter's liking. In posting these images she did not request C&C. To critique and comment that the image can be improved, may or may not be accepted by a poster if done politely. Lisa politely responded to your request to edit her image. Lisa's reply, if you understand forum etiquette, should have ended your comments about the images needing your "improvement". To post a second time that the images need your corrections is rude.

Thank you, I appreciate that. Post processing, much like most things in life, are very much a personal preference kind of thing. I can assure everyone that I am very happy with how these images are processed and have no desire to change them to someone else's liking.

Well, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to someone else... it also might be considered rude to but your nose into someone else's conversation... especially when not invited.
And, we can agree to disagree. If you post a photo in public, you're opening yourself up for critique, that's an age-old debate that's been settled.
When you post on the forum it is heard by all, not a private conversation. I'am not going to turn Lisa's beautiful post into a podium for you to boost your low self esteem.

The colors are off.
The colors are off according to who? You? Are you the end all authority on color these days? What is your website, I'd like to check out some of your work. Thanks!
I'm being polite... however i wasn't so polite to the guy that was rude to me, who also is now stalking my threads, "4meNex7"
I got a private message from someone about this thread, and about lisa, who said she's been banned from two photography forums for being rude and disrespectful to people... I was also told, that if I critiqued her images, I would be attacked, in the same way 4meNex7 did.
Interesting...
I don't let such things stop me from giving my opinion on images, sorry. If you post images in a public place, be open to comments, good AND not good.
