The soft look in both of these pics really does enhance there appeal. Women should always be shot soft, and please no comments on the word ”shot”.
Needless to say Sunnylass I really like these two images.

Thank you very much for that, it is very much appreciated. I've found its made a huge difference to some of my images that I just found too harsh to initially do anything with.

The post work you have done on these photos makes for a really nice feel. I like it a lot.
How did you achieve the effect? (just briefly...). At a guess I would say it looks kind of like you have used a duplicate layer that has been softened and then masked out sections to show details like hair and eyes from the layer below?

Hi Matt,
I used three duplicate layers, two of which I used the gaussian blur on, adjusting the opacity etc, and then merged them, and yes added a mask layer and then used the paintbrush to show through the eyes and lips etc.

I prefer the first photograph to the second. Did you notice that the second image has a couple of shadows that look like bruises?

Gorgeous girl Erin, i have had the pleasure many times.........nice work just go a little easy on the blur, maybe add some contrast for a little 'punch' and increase the levels a little

Thanks Dan but I'm actually really happy with the amount of blur I've used, its a new process to me and I'm quite thrilled with the results.
