hay guys, i need some constructive criticism on these photos... dont leave me hanging :)

Your "retouches" most definitely make the photos "pop" and give them life. The waist lines, in my opinion, are slightly over-done.
I know it's subjective to each editor, but just seems just a little bit too unreal. I bet your models loved your work though.
Again... it's just my opinion, Sergio. The edits are ROCKIN' though!

thanks Doug! i definetly see your point with the waists being a bit over the top on that lol. The girls really wanted me to "hook" them up on those aspects so i guess i went a little too far!! hehe, but yeahh they LOVED it lol. Most of these were done for a editorial shoot for a college campus. the other one with the lambo was just something i tried doing for fun lol. i'm really trying to get into fashion photography in a studio environment but need to learn more about lighting and studio equipment.

Yeah, I agree! She's really cool to work with too! Bigram, you do great work.. did you go to school at all for this stuff?

I forgot to mention that I did notice the "clean-up" around the computers too.

They're fine, brah. Besides... what woman doesn't want a lil' waist like that anyway!

Thank you for your kind words, Sergio. I just bought the "Retouching" DVD's in July or August. I'm only through DVD #3,
and trying to be proficient with just the basic techniques. How does that saying go... "You eat an elephant one bite at a time."
Same thing for Nick's Retouching techniques. Thanks again, Sergio. I really appreciate it.
