 So I have been watching the threads this week cuz I've been home sick and I tell ya, it's been so much fun!!!

I saw the holiday challenge and thought christmas jewlery! So I read all the threads and faidoi mentioned Victoria's Sectret!

I immediately called up my friend and asked for her underware! (that sounds so weird!) Glad she had something 'christmassy'!

As for PP
I did the shadows & highlights as seperate layers in screen & multipy modes.
selected everything but the underware & G blur.
History brush to give back detail to some areas like the fingertips & belly button.
Seperate levels adj. on the background.
Healing & cloning
I think that's it!

OK, so I know a few of you felt like you wanted to see the hand in focus but I stand by my idea to make it blurred!!! I actually had it crisp in the original and gaussian blured most if the image. I thought any catalogue would want the emphasis on the product. Thanks everyone for your comment & opinions! Always always welcome :0D

I give this one a 7. My issues with this pic is the dof is just to shallow for a catalog shot. The position of the left hand is a little off as well. It's a sexy shot though.

I've voted this like one of the first ones, but I still don't know what to say about it.
i like it, that's a fact. great DoF and the colors of the (gorgeous) female body are very nice. I like the lightning too!

Oh well, one of my faves, that's for sure :)

The only thing I don't like about this photo is that hand is blurry. It would of been great if it had of been crisp. The colours and tones look good. Well done.

Really nice shot. Composition, focus, exposure, they're all great. Also very suitable as a holiday catalog.

Wonderfull pic. Nice and simple. I am torn about the hand being out of focus, but it is still one of my tops.

i like this because it gives the feeling of light heartness and fun. i also like the fact that it is done in a very tasteful mane, also the colors and clarity of the pic stand out very well. great work. i would give it a 9 if they were to be scored.
