Description
Model - Holly (IvoryFlame)MUA - Leah Mabe
Photography & Post Processing - Me
Studio testing for my portfolio.
Ps. in reply to people trying to move this to 'photomanipulation', think of all the great fashion photographers out there, they edit their photographs 100 times more, retouchers do an amazing job and they are still classed as photographers. Keep trying, it will just be moved back!

If this is supposed to be a "painted look", then I have to say that you've failed miserably at making it so. You've simply abused whatever photo editing program you used to the point that she look so unrealistic and fake - that it's obvious you over-edited the image, absolutely ruining your poor model.
By the way: As a friend of mine said, lose the "DIS IZ MY STYLE/DIS IZ HOW I WANTED IT 2 LEWK" attitude. You're not fooling anyone 'cept yourself, and you make yourself look absolutely childish by taking the past polite, constructive criticism so poorly. Surprising behavior coming form a senior member.

Her eyes, in all her pictures, are so beautiful!
I've never seen anything like it.

Its very regal, very modern, and yet very fashionable, almost like a take from a fantasy movie.

This does look very edited, and her eyes are otherworldly. Don't get me wrong, it's gorgeous. I can honestly say that I have never seen a portrait quite like this ever. The texture of the hair contrasts the smooth airbrushed flawless face very well.

Why so many people so harsh on the editing done to this photo? I personally absolutely love it, yes there is like a painted kind of look to it, but I really think it adds to it, it suits her hair & make up very well. Makes me think of Marie Antoinette for some reason, the paintings of her... this is like a more modern artistic implied take of it. People really don't appreciate enough of what people put into an image after its taken, i know everyone has a right to there opinion and everyone has different tastes.. oh well, I won't go any further into it.

The retouching took away the beauty of natural light on the skin.
great pose though.

I see a few comments about too much photoshop... I disagree. Yes, retouching has been done. But it's skillful retouching, not the gaussian blur crap that 13 year olds on myspace might do to make themselves look like "models".
I like it.

I am not trying to be mean but it does look a little over photoshopped. I would love to see the original...

These are some really great photographs, but in my opinon all the natural beauty has been taken away by over editing. I bet this image was so much more beautiful before hand, it looks too fake now. I'm not having a go, it's just my personal opinion, maybe tone down the editing, you'd come out with a much better result.

if that's the way the artist wants to show the piece of work, then why question it?

Incase you failed to notice, I said "In my opinion", which I am entitled to. If the artist didn't want critisism they should have expressed so, however I still feel my comment to be relevant.

That's some incredible make-up, did you do any photoshop to the eyes?

Nice! I really like how you brought the face into the focus, though I'm not so sure about the hair fitting in...

Wow, her eyes are otherworldly... this is a really exquisite photo.

breath taking!!!
the model is very beautiful and you captured every essence of it!!

Beautiful capture! Please congradulate the make-up artist for me as well. It looks very natural and suits her face so well, while giving her a bit of an adge to the softness of her face.

This holds a very ethereal and serene feeling for me, more like a painting than a photo. Very beautiful....the model is amazing and so is the hair and make-up. Your photo's are always good

She mesmorizes me. Deep stare. I love this. It could be a painting... that's how beautiful it is.

I absolutely love this!
Are those eyebrows real?
Love the title, and that contrast between her red hair and the blue background is just gorgeous.

This is the most striking and beautiful shot I have seen of Holly, I was fortunate to be one of the first to shoot Holly when she joined Net-model [link] and she has gone from strength to strength, I think she will go a long way with her unique look and natural flair for modeling.

this piece strikes me as odd:/
upon first looking at this i thought it was a photomanip..the model is definitely beautiful, but she is so overairbrushed and edited it takes away so much of her natural beauty. it doesnt look real.
its still a pretty image, though.

I just wanted to write the same but u were first so I can just say u're 100% right her cheek looks like painted...

ty, I am glad ppl are starting to question editing in photography more.

Editing is good to improve photo a bit or make model more satisfied by her look but well, there should be some borders to what u can do with photo. This one should be in the paintings section

true, this is more a manipulation then a photograph. At least Lara doesn't deny using photoshop unlike other ppl in DA
