No, what I did was adjusted the shadows and highlights of the image.
I miss you Jessss, I'm sorry we didn't get to do anything while I was over there.
But I'm glad we ran into eachother.

I miss you too, Nikki dear!
It's alright. We kinda ran into each other at the end of your trip anyways.

But I am sooooo glad we ran into each other too!!!!!! I don't know when we would have seen each other again.

This is gorgeous! I love that you can see the freckles on her nose, it adds a whole 'nother element to this photograph.

Stunningly beautiful portrait!

The lighting is perfect, the contrast spot on. The contrast really draws you to this photo...that and her freckles -- adorable.

This is technically and artistically very beautiful!

I'm not good at giving crits to photos, i do trad. art

But I'll give it a try!

First of all, this is one of those photos I would love to draw sometime. The lighting and her expression makes her divine-looking. There's a sweetnes and maturity to it

The lighting on her hair is, in my opinion, a little sharp. It would be nice with a softer look to it

The locks would be so smooth and healthy looking, i think. The harsh lighting makes it look a little rough.
But i love how you made her stand out from the background, and her skin is amazing. A really great shot
