These look attractively soft. So how much post processing is going into these shots?
My portrait shots went up a notch today

Nice images. I think you are correct about her mouth. She has a very pronounced cupid's bow, very sexy on its own.
The image looks downright lavender on my iMac, which needs calibration. It tends to lighten colors some, but the purple in the image is obvious. I like the series.

I love everything about this shot. From the composition to her eyes, the straw hat and most important, the feeling it conveys to me.
Bravo!
The only problem now, is that I keep looking where the wristband used to be.
Having said that , I'm sure anyone else who looks at this shot and doesn't know anything about "wristband gate" will love it.Good job. It looks much better.
Same on my computer as well. Very purple.
Have pulled back a bit on the purple.
have cloned a bunch of bracelets - actually it was the same one. For my subscription to CC I would expect that cloning one bracelet means I want them all cloned. Letter of complaint on way.
I'm loving the input guys but do let me know by PM if I am posting too many of this gorgeous lass.

Great photos mate, you have come leaps and bounds. Keep up the great work.
I can't believe how much you have grown as a photographer! Excellent job, Lawrence.
Thank you very much @hark
There's one thing I don't care for...you used a wide angle lens, and the leg closest to the camera has a tiny bit of perspective distortion going on. The leg looks like it is slightly elongated because of the lens and because the leg isn't exactly parallel to the camera. And not too fond of her foot being cut off.

I was going to point that out as well.
While I suppose there could be exceptions, I've been taught the rule: Do not to crop at joints. Cropping at a joint, even small ones like the knuckles, creates tension.
The other thing I keep in mind regarding joints is they need to be bent to look their best. There are probably exceptions but the rule I've been taught is: If it's a joint, bend it. And that means right down to the fingers. It doesn't have to be much of a bend, just enough to break the line, but it needs to be there.
