hi, tried a new skin softening technique from the Scott Kelby's book, I really like the way it softens skin. however, it seems when I save and reduce the DPI, it goes too soft for web presentation??? any tips?

the set up for this shot was two umbrellas lighting the background at f16, and a large softbox camera right, at f11.
love some feedback, thanks heaps.

For me, I think it looks too soft and has become in-focus-blurry. The outside lines of her body have been lost in the softening and are not defining. But that's just my opinion.

What does the Tattoo say: "This way up" ? :roll:

As said before, outsides lines are being lost a bit.
