She looks like she did a great job for you, Chris!

Across the board, these are all well-composed images. There are, however, a few things that need some improvement: All images are soft and need a bit of sharpening to clean up the edges and "crisp" them up. All of them are also lacking in contrast - while this can be a personal thing, none of the images really pop on my monitor. I would remove/smooth out what appears to be a chicken pox scar on her forehead. While I like 'em hot, the first image is washed out a bit and needs some judicious application of a Multiply layer to bring it down a bit.

Again, these are all very well shot, you've got that part down, you just need to get the post processing worked out.

I agree..

Jon thanks for the time explaining your view/crit. It is much appreciated. Gotta work 'em - they were all shot in RAW on my 1D MII, so I can actually still do a lot wirh em. I just find somtime in PP that I have a heavy hand...........

Thanks again all for commenting!

Jon has given you some excellent feedback.

I would add a couple of things. Her skin color is tinted a bit green, And in #2 the models fold toward the bottom of her shirt gives her belly a round appearance which can be corrected in Photoshop.

Compositionally #1 is my favorite.

Thanks for the added details, but if I may ask how do I fix the "belly" in photoshop? The green skin tones still bother me too......

Here's the modified version. To create it I selected the area around the lower part of her shirt. I then copied the selection and pasted it onto a new layer. Next I selected (in CS2) EDIT TRANSFORM WARP.

A grid appears over the area. You can then drag the intersecting points of the grid in any direction for the desired warp. Added a layer mask and using a soft brush I erased the sharp edge transitions at the periphery.

For the skin tones, you can do all kinds of things...Use color balance, the Channel Mixer, Photo Filter adjustments; there are as many ways to work skin as there are Photoshop operators.

For the stomach, duplicate the layer (or select the area, giving yourself some extra room outside the area to work on) and use the push/pull and pucker tools in the Filters>Liquify dialog. Be sure to use the Freeze Mask tool to surround the area you're working on, or you'll warp out the surrounding area too much. You can always Restore and get back to the beginning, but this is also why you're working on a duplicate layer - you can erase the areas that were affected that you didn't want affected.
