Madona trains hard..and for her age and condition she looks amazing.
Yes the leaner body tends to have a harder look, but it's better than being loose and sloppy. There is a trade off as we age. For women this is VERY true. Genetics is key, but this woman has certainly taken great care of herself.


Rockin'

never stated anything else except that she has that nut cracker look. that's all.

Even though it's all just fun, they're very careful about only photoshopping images with the photographer's permission.

I'm one of them.

Yeah..As it states..MM can not be held liable and we are on our own.

This is not an instance where anything major is going to happen.

Trust me...

I will simply leaver the link. No need for a few more posting to occur and the mods get involved. Just heading off the crap before it happens as things get way to blown out of wack at times.

Ok,

I could'nt resist..

I hate when people retouch my images...so let the karma begin.

I just wanted to mess around with a maddona picture..
Just to see how far I could bring it..granted..it was a 72 DPI image. I could have done more, but I think I heard KARMA knocking at my door!

Just having a little fun, as I dare not suggest I am on par with the team that handles this pop icons image and images.

A retouch with respect..
I removed the post and just leaving the link. So as not to get MM in a JAM. Dont wanna piss off the Powers that be!

Nothing against your retouch skills, but I prefer the original...It's how she really looks, which I find much more intriguing.  But then, I'm a perv and a wierdo so nevermind what I think.

No big deal. I wasn't expecting the mods to get involved. Just thought some uptight photographers might give you grief.

As a photgrapher I wouldnt give anybody grief in the context of this thread.

It obvious that people are reposting this mans images in the thread. That is no threat to his business in anyway. If the image were used or posted for profit or misrepresentation then of cource I would expect some grief. This situation is a low profile event.

Not very flattering position on the main light given the camera angle. Hard light is difficult enough on people when it's put in a good position.  I suggest a young model wouldn't have looked much better.

One would think all of these images were taken KNOWING a pre-thought out plan of retouching was in order. I've set up shots knowing the in camera look was going to be follwed by a specifix retouch, thus the lighting was set up a certain way to facilitate the retouch and final product.

Uuuuaaah! she looks like my mom (shes 74)

I've seen some unedited headshots before, she is an old ugly bat!

Time for her to leave the stage, I don't like her music anyway.
