my housemate is doing a mock magazine for a final piece for her end of year piece.

she asked me to take a look at what I could do with and image. now I didnt take the image and it was a was shot on a point and shoot.

the lighting was all wrong and unflattering as it brought out creases etc.

heres the image:

I think youve done a decent job of lifting the image ... but personally Id blur the bg a little,
make her 'pop' a bit more.

Jmo of course :)

totally agree about blurring the background heres the fix:

I find the second shot to be a lot more flattering of the model, and think you have have done a good job of bringing out her eyes and removing the bracelet.

thankyou. yea, im not a fan of the first image but it was as a request from a friend.

I love post processing almost as much as taking the actual photo.
