Sweet Lolita II

I liked this photo a lot. The concept behind a loli in the woods eating sweets is great. I think the MUA did an excellent job. You couldn't have picked a more pretty model. As far a photography, I believe you have a pretty good capture here. The lighting is well placed and sufficient. The photo is also pretty sharp.
I don't think you should have blurred the background in your processing. I think the lens bokeh would have been more than sufficient. The added blur effect really makes the photo look fake. Even more so when you sharpened certain places on the model. Example, her face is super sharp but her feet (which is on the same depth of field) should also be sharp or at least in focus. Other than that, the photo is great. Good job all around to you and your team.

Just a note. If you aren't using a tablet instead of a mouse for processing, you should really look into getting one. It really helps. I noticed that your blur layer aren't masked well enough. You can see the gap around your model (blur/sharp). Using a tablet will help you get into the tight spots easier when masking <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me anytime to chit-chat about photography. I think you have good skills here <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
