Critique some edits I have done?

[G5Unit]

I have recently gotten into the habit of photoshopping picture for people. Yet most of my critics are teenagers who have never before used photoshop.

I thought that maybe if I came here I could get a better point of view from some members here.

Here you go

Most of them are done under an hour and I could possibly achieve better results if I worked a little longer.

I'm not trying to draw people to my flickr. I just want some suggestions.

My point of view - you have nice looking friends! Even the guy on the bike is not bad...

Quite like most of the shots, especially the polaroid layout. A hour (on each) well spent!

I agree you have nice looking friends.

The photos look great. I too like the polaroid shot.

Thanks. I got the idea from a similar photo I have seen online.

I feel as if it is a tad over exposed though.

Wow.. you got some really pretty friends..

SO THAT"S THE TRICK!!! You take pictures of them under the guise of being their "friend" and then you slip from friend to boy-friend..

Man I need a camera!

Personally can't see any major issues with any of them, maybe some minor exposure issues on a couple but nothing you couldn't sort in photoshop.

The one I do have a suggestion on is the Miranda (polaroid) one, I personally would loose the lens flare, I think its a bit over the top and detracts from the rest of the picture, maybe try reducing its opacity if you really want to keep it.

EDIT: oh and mustn't forget the - very pretty people bit of the post

Thank you everyone for the input!

Again, I didn't personally take any of these pictures. They were taken by people who I don't have the name of.


And yes, I will reduce the lens flare.

i find the edits nice and fun, excepting some excessive glow use and the fact that i don't like pics to be written on. but that may be a personal choice. in general, the pics are fine, the edits too, and so are your friends

I made a new one. I got rid of the names but the original picture was still very glow-ish. I tried some HDR(fake). Mind you it was 10 30 and night and I was tired.
