I love many of these outdoor shots, and I hope you do too.  I have included a couple of shots at the beginning, showing the benefit of retouching a landscape.  You will see the photo as shot, and next the retouch.  Typically, that doesn't include much retouching on you, but it can.  On one image the electric tower is seen, the then in the retouched version, it is gone!  the trees have been sharpened, the color made slightly more intense, and dark areas offer more contrast.  These photos are not just about you, but the setting in which it was taken, with you an important component of it.  You can see on the first image, your legs are there, but you are in the center of the composition, which is not always the best compositionally.  By cropping the image, both at the bottom and the side, I moved you (as the focal point area) to a better position; 2/3 across the photo.  I also brightened your shirt to contrast more with the environment.  When viewing these, consider benefits of retouching your favorites.

On some, where I had many many choices, you may see yourself as a full body shot, a half body shot, and a portrait...it looks like the same photo but isn't.  Since I shoot in a series, I can crop some of them to give you more choices of those you like.  those are not retouched, just adjusted further than most posted.

 Once you have made your selections, I continue to work on actual adjustments on all of your choices, and retouching on a few.  Remember too that your package includes 1 8 by 10, or two 5 by 7 images on archival photo paper in a finish you prefer.
