Nice improve on the background, is that a table cloth? Her skin seems a bit too red to me though.

Like the 3rd the best but it is the least pinup style IMO. The only issue with #3 is the peace sign from girl #2. Takes away from the mood of it all. Also, minus the earing on girl #1.
Dont like the skin processing on #1.
I like #2, whats going on with her rt hand? Also maybe crop a little off the left side. It looks like the carpet ends over there.

#1 I like it, but the skin is too redish
#2 Nice pose, but looks like you are using the heavy vignetting to cover up the fact that the carpet has ended on both sides of girl before the end of the frame, and the blurry hand
#3 I like the expressions and PP, my favorite out of the groupLast edited by btuner; 06-13-2010 at 01:38 PM.

Thank for the comments everyone.
I think the "main" reason everyone sees things differently is due to their monitors.
Its about that time to update them because some things slip by that Ill later catch on my HD monitor.
The Carpet was a perfect example. On my editing PC it looks hidden but on my HD monitor you can see the cut off. The vignette was over done to try and cover this instead of cloning.
I design for the printing industry, things like this dont typically show up.
As for the redness in the first picture, It must be either the way PS is exporting the jpeg or Flickr. The red is not that saturated in PS.
I toned it down and reloaded it so let me know if that helps.Photo Retouching | Graphic Design | Corporate Branding

She must just be a really tan pin-up chick. I guess the words "pin-up" and pale skin just usually go hand and hand, that's why It looks off

She actually is tan.
I've actually researched Pin-up images and saw a mix of both tan and pale.
To say pale and pin-up go hand in hand is a bit much I think.
But I'll have to say the "modern" pin-ups have leaned towards very pale and tattooed.Photo Retouching | Graphic Design | Corporate Branding

the smoke brush on #3 is distracting me since it looks a bit fake to me. Maybe less opacity might work. But the bg and pose on #1 are nice

I agree with yakosato on the smoke brush. Opacity should probably be no more than 25-30.
Nice job on these though. I like the set.

^ its not a brush but an isolated stock art, but I agree with you and will adjust, thanks
