My first photoshop compilation. Model was photographed in a studio. Background was added. I tried to make it as though the lighting came from the right of the model and onto the brickwall as well.

its not bad.
the burn like very dark and sharp shade on her left arm and some around her cheek doesnt really match rest of the image. also I see an immediate shadow where the inner left arm meets the wall which shouldnt be there.

keep it up smile

Thanks for the advice. I realized I put in a drop shadow in a layer and it was hidden so I forgot to delete it. Will take your advice and make some adjustments. When finished do you mind having a second look?

that shadow shouldnt be there, considering the ligh comes from the right. and in my opinion you should not darken her arm and hair that much.
there is some very highly saturated area in between the regular skin and the area that you darkened which i would desaturate.

all in all a nice result with just some minor things to correct. smile
