PS can anyone give me some help with the first one? Any ideas on how to clean up the skin in PS on the left cheek?

Thanks!

I'd leave it just the way it is Josh. The raw feel I get from this shot is what gives it appeal to me. It's good!

Hey, nice shots, I like the poses.

On the first one, I'd say the white wall she's leaning on is too overpowering for the shot, maybe try a tighter crop. For her skin, if you are going black and white, try using a red filter or simply extracting just the red channel out - this should help remove some blemishes as they are usually red. If you are just trying to get a smoother look, try the healing brush or the blur tool, neatimage might also get you the effect you need but try to avoid a "plastic" look.

I really like both of them. I don't quite get why but the second on e resembles a spider in some twisted way and I just can't keep my eyes off of it. On the first one I would leave it just the way it is. the way the left cheek is lighter than the right cheek, adds some flair to the picture's over all aperence.

Actually I seem to find that the blemishes are usually _not_ red. The blue channel has a lot of the skin marks and so on. Looking at just the blue channel ends up looking like one of those skin damage commercials.

Heading through the light spectrum:
Infrared gives almost porcelain smooth skin.
Red channel is smoother than normal.
Green channel looks about even.
Blue channel shows all the skin damage.
Ultra violet images/ light really brings out the sun damage in skin.

and why most bathrooms have fluorescent lights.
so you can see for yourself how bad your acne problem is before heading to the fluorescent lights at most work places.

Just a few comments :)

I really like this shot.
Was this the original composition?
Did you consider adding more of the model in the shot?



I think this shot "Spider2" could have used a little more contrast as in the "Spider3" shot.



I think overall this is the best of the 3 shots.
The sharpness and contrast are very well done.
