I loved this image by Samoilenko. I used my "Wedding Day" Photoshop Action and my "Dodge and Burn" Action which are also available on my Etsy to get this beauty looking right. I like the feeling and that "gel" like wet look and the color pop.. BUT feel like something might be off?

What do you see that I don't? What should I work on or change?

Thank You!

Hi,

First of all nice grading. What I would improve in my humble opinion:

- Black dots on the nose. I think you have enough texture to "remove" them and keep it natural. For others would be overworked.
- Maybe soften and round the highlight on the nose tip. This is my personal taste, maybe not the "right" one. I'm fairly new in high-end ret.
- Orange paint sat seems too high to me.
- Yellow sat in the eyes is too high too, but I like it, so I'd try to so soften edges, tones, o whatever works best.

I hope you can find any of this useful in any way.
