I like it a lot, plus the balance technical wise here, the colors are just like a shinning diamonds, great job my friend.
Wishing you all of the best

Thank you, Armando.
I'm lucky enough to shoot Candace and her fiancee this weekend, and I am going to try to get some intensely emotional shots. You'll certainly get to see if I succeed. ;)

In this case, Clay, 'creative' involved base image clean-up, and then running one action, which is a variant of the now-popular Dragonizer technique, where there are multiple passes of sharpening and selective contrast enhancement. This particular action from Kubuta Artistic Tools v4 and is called Dragon Queen.

Thank you, Cernan. After cleaning up dirt on the floor and sensor dust, I used an action from Kubuta Tools volume IV called Dragonizer. It does several passes on the image sharpening and boosting contrast.
I highly recommend these actions, which can be purchased at http://www.kubotaimagetools.com/

Wolf, the halos are a by-product of dragonizing, which uses a high-pass filter for its sharpening.

Thank you Paul for sharing these beauties.
Candace with her tanned skin and almost green dress and sat on the
plastic chair , creates so a great look !!!

Youve got to many halos in here, either sharpening or tone mapping.

I like it alot Paul. I need to spend more time learning to be creative with some of my shots, but it seems I just don't have the time. But I'll get to it one day LOL!
