Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hey guys. I know i know record posting for images in the first 48 hours (when I'm keen on something i don't give up) So i posted a photoshop thread last night and got some feedback that really did help so here is attempt #2 Basically i fixed up the spots in the skin, and did a blurring technique that Matt K. had replied with. I'm posting 3 versions. The original. A copy where i had done the altercations. A copy where at the end i looked at it and couldnt figure out what was missing to give it that final "Snap" so i through over a lighting effect and increased the gloss and brought in the lighting effect obviously. So here we go. The Original  The first Edit  The last edit with lighting effect on it  Really looking foward to your feedback guys. Thanks and sorry for so many post`s asking for feedback so soon Regards Jay

I prefer the first one. The PP on the face is too much on the others.
YMMV

Jay, It is great that your wife is a willing model. I think both of your treatments here work pretty well, but I do not like the original shot because of the bars. I can see what you were tring to do, but I really don't think it has worked, the bars are intrusive instead of being interesting. Just my opinion. Anyway, I probably prefer the effect on the last one, it is a good soft finish with a pleasant glow.
