too much postprocessing, sorry it killed a good photo. Looks far too unnatural and plastic to me.

The eyes look forced here -they seem to be a little too perfectly colored an unnatural. Other than that, it's technically excellent.

Maybe your eyes are that green, and if they are I apologise, but they look a little over processed to me. Slightly softer would have been nicer.

Very prettily posed, and you're lovely. :) Just a little too much Neat Image, though, maybe? The editing gives you a plastic, doll-like look.

Sisters? Background looks the same. If not, after the challenge check out image# 333448 titled 'Playful'.

As for this image. I like the pose and the lighting is very well done. Good luck.

I would like to see your eyes in their natural color ... they seem a bit over processed here ...

Lovely portrait, Cher. I like the flowy white fabric. The eyes are a tad over-saturated, but gives a dreamy look that works with the rest of the image. :)

The post processing has made this look a little unnatural, mainly around the eye area, although your smile is very natural!
