Yikes, the retouches that guy did look absolutely horrific. He took two really beautiful photographs, altered them in some very obvious ways and ultimately made parts of you look inhuman. Not to mention the fact that the originals were amazing and needed no retouching. Terrible.

That was an act of pure and unadulterated douche baggery. Gurrrrl....you look FLAWLESS!

You Are Gorgeous Even When You Are Angly!!!

Ironic about yer friend ... but is funnie !!
Modeling pics. = GORGEOUS ! !
Pissed @ that stoopid fucker too !!
Nite ~ Nite !

You have a right to be sensitive - because it is YOU - who is being used as "raw material". It is an image of you - so you are being used and also it is logical to assume that because it is you - you either approve of these changes or even that you make them yourself. If you do not like the result - you are cheated of control of both your image and reputation. I think the lack of "knowledgeable eye" is the worst sin ! Were I you - that would make me angriest - to be associated with !

You are very lovely Opale - let this photographer "improve" others - not you !!

sweet sleep
better tomorrow

Your figure is gorgeous, there was no need to change anything. As a photographer myself that's not acceptable. Correcting color and levels is one thing, but altering the shape of your subject isn't. You are right, he did change the photo, he colored your lips and slimmed you down all over, like he stretched it slightly. I'd tell him to find a different model in the future. You are completely lovely as you are.

Of course you should be angry... he's not 1/2 naked on myspace - some modified you is. Legally he might be on the safe side if you signed a release, but ...

I saw this pic on myspace and was disturbed too.

This one is a bit special:

That is completely ridiculous that a so-called photographer would steal your photo and then try to fix you.
It is obvious what he did and so dumb that he cannot see the beauty that is there to begin with, which is the natural, real YOU!
I would never think to re-touch or modify anything that is you. It just made me angry too! Some people are blind with open eyes (no offense to actual blind persons).

Canada, eh? Hmmm.....sounds interesting.

Have a Enjoyable New Year, Darling.
Best wishes to you and your loved ones.

Han ca aurait ete avec grand plaisir mais je ne suis plus a nantes cette annee, jy retourne de temps en temps (peut etre fin janvier) donc dans ce cas la je te PM et on voit ce qu on peut faire

I am curious why you would like to go to Canada instead of stay in France? Canada is beautiful, but I love france, especially for arts and literature. and cheese. and bread. et le francais. Canada is great, especially montreal and vancouver. Good luck!
