Hi Koby, thanks so much for all your comments! I'm quite overwhelmed reading them all, and I'll certainly try to reciprocate.
For this pic, I wanted to create a sort of "porcelain doll" effect (thus the title I chose). So, the smooth/porcelain skin was done on purpose. When I take a pic, my ultimate goal is to turn it into something "unreal" (such as a painting). These days, anyone can point and click a photo, so for me at least it's what you turn that photo into that counts.
Certainly I'd love to meet with you to discuss tips/ideas on how to enhance each of our portfolios. Shoot me an email (lightscapes at gmail. com)
this shot is great, the colors are great, but.. i'm sorry to do this again the skin is too smooth, it has a plastic quality, if you have photoshop and u want some tips... again this is just my opinion... i'd be more then happy to say a few things. u got the style but... the finel work on this is kinda lackin. i'd like to help
