Thanks James,I think we were at the same session.
#1, #2 and #4 are awesome. I like your PP, very different. What filters did you use?
Unfortunately, I definitely disagree with Wildstallion.
Way way way too much high pass filter/clarity (cant tell which), its ruined otherwise good images, they just look really bad and crap now. The effect is completely overdone.
Interesting. You're using high-key smoothening for portraiture? Personally, I seldom use the high key or glamour mode and instead use a custom curve. And later sharpen it slightly to achieve a faux skin texture.
I've seen similar ideas on POTN, they've some rather neat post processing sometimes.
Unfortunately, I definitely disagree with Wildstallion.
