gorgeous suby...i love the detail..it's fabulous
i have a new kitty photo for you to see by the way
hope all is well ...

I think I am guilty of double standards. I find good and bad things on images depending on the photog and comment quite differently, but today gloves off

I like the idea, but the PP falls short for me. The skintones kinda off in texture, it is like I see a while layer over the skin, I think you need to boost the contrast a bit to give the skin and especially the makeup a pop. Also I see hallows around your subjects, it looks like you tried to remove the softnening effect from the background but in the process created hallows around the edges of the skin. In this case, when working with edges, I reduce the flow and opacity of my brush, I must admit I don't always get it right though.
lastly, the lady on the right appears a bit flat to me. I like to add some highlights on the forehead or cheeks just like the lady on the left. Sometimes the highlights may appear as blown out spots but it adds dimension to shots like these, so for me I leave them there when when I can. In summary, it the use of shadows and highlights to create form will enhance this image.

PS: I use the word "I" because most suggestions above work for me very well, you may not like and you may just like.

the styling and make up: sublime!

please tell me you all got well paid for this

Love those over-the-top colours going on here...

great shot. nice colors.

very lovely photo guys! Loving the colours

love it........

Lighting, yada yada is top notch but I need to see more of the scene to give it meaning. As it stands they are both looking out the frame but we're left in the dark as to what they might be looking at.

If they're not looking at anything but simply have their eyes closed then the body language to me doesn't seem to warrant that....
