I was very sorry to lose the glitter on her skin. And was surprised at the condition of her skin.

color corrected
degrunged
worked with tone - shadows/highlights, dodge/burn
darkened the lips a tad
used the patch tool on the big uneven areas and then cloned out the smaller areas
sharpened the jewelry
brightened the eyes
she had a stray eyelash on the far right side of her right eye that I cloned out and replaced with the dune grass brush
-Oh! and edited to add - I did the pales desaturated treatment

Dear Cristian Mihai...

Even as you close your studio, I hope that you won't totally leave the world of photography. Your images are an inspiration. It would be a shame for the world to lose that completely.

Best of luck with your bicycle shop. I'm sure you'll find ways to channel your creativity in your new venture.

Hope you are doing well. Take care. Alan.

[roone]

Thanx for the images and good luck with the bike shop.

I didn't have much to do, so I gave a try another one.

Here it is.

Sorry to hear you had to knock your photography on the head - your work is amazing and I think it's a real shame! Good luck with your shop.

Here's my go:

I'm so sorry to hear that a talent like yours is leaving the industry! I wish you every succes with the bike shop, may it be a roaring success! And thanks so much for your generosity with the Raw files, first chance I've had to practice on a professional photog's file.

May I use one of them for my online portfolio? Full credit, of course.

Regards, Chris.

Hi CMS,

I wish you still visited your account on this website and saw my message, and wish you came back to this industry one day.

May I retouch your photos for my folio? I will credit you. Many thanks.

All the best.

To make your large files available to forum members simply use one of the above LFT services to send the file(s) to your own email address. Then open that email message, copy the link that's in it, and post that link here in your post.

Those links tend to be very large (100 characters plus), so you may want to shorten them with e.g. TinyURL.com.

Good luck!

W Smith, the image is actually 4865 x 6520 pixels. Logic wopuld tell you that if the image were worst case in CMYK and 16 bit, the maximum size possible would be 153 x 208 x 2 byte/channel x 4 channels = 205KB. So unless the image has about 100 layers, I think you were looking at the size of the thumbnail.
I would definitely agree with you about Rapidshare. Of course it is deliberately slowed down and delayed in order to get people to subscribe to a paid service. The irritating thing is that it is overly throttled back even at off peak times when they have tons of excess bandwidth. I don't mind paying for file hosting / sharing services especially since large servers, maintenance, and high bandwidth do cost the providers a considerable amount of money but I don't like how Rapidshare implements its business model.
Thanks for the other links to similar service providers.

Yep, that's what came down from Rapidshare! And identified itself to my Finder as a 21,3MB Tiff file. Of which apparently the thumbnail came down, but the file itself did not.
You may want to test downloading it for yourself to see what you get.

Why don't you zip all of those images together and send that file with WeTransfer.com to your own email address, from which you can post the link here, and be done with it? All in one go!

Well the file that I downloaded was the full 21.3MB and since it is a direct file link I do not see how you could have rec'd anything else. The file does open and the dimensions are indeed 4865 x 6520.

I downloaded it again, and this time it worked. Got the full size image now. The only noticeable difference was the download was 10 times faster than the first time (without the full size image)...
Cheers.
