Test Edits.

Some quick edits to test some post production techniques.

I had a concept in mind for this edit but, ended up going a different way.  Will have to go back and try the original idea on another more suited image.  That is the luxury of doing personal work for arts sake over commercial work where a desired outcome is briefed. With personal work you are free to take the image where it leads you organically.  I guess it is that process which skills you up for being able to achieve a set end point from a fixed start.

The edit is real rough on this one, just wanted to test it for the exotic skin color.

Which do you prefer,  Natural or Exotic???
