A SUMMER BEST covers

[jang-kun]

BRING THAT THING BACK TO UNDERWORLD PLEASE M(U) HAS BEEN HAUNTING ME EVER SINCE AND NOW THIS?

wtf ayu but dvd looks unf <3

[douggn]

I like them but the cd only looks like they had a photo which they liked her pose and a photo that they prefered her face in and just combined the two. I like leslies work but not the second rate photoshoping that goes over it. Should be some good off shots

[Takakayu]

Love the 2CD cover, I think I'm getting this version.

While I don't hate the covers, I would be content if this was the last thing Leslie does with Ayu. He hasn't truly impressed me once since he's come back. Everything had the exact same feel to it. The lighting, photoshopping, etc. Why use the same person over and over again when you have so many options at your fingertips. It's weird to me.

Alas, they're probably shooting something right now at their overseas location.

The CD cover looks scary... I don't like her tan either.
CD+DVD is awesome though~

Usually when Ayu smiles that wide her mouth is open or slightly open. This is a very forced and awkward smile. The pale lipstick contrasts, and the tan is not flattering, reminds me of her bad RAINBOW days.

In the the 2CD cover if you start from the middle of her teeth and count the middle right as tooth one and count till the end of her teeth to the right there are 5 and one small 6th one way back there. In most Ayu pictures she only exposes 5 teeth per side but she also doesn't smile super super hard. I couldn't find any 6 teeth smile photos so maybe it was shopped in there. But also, we haven't seen her smile this hard and at this angle maybe she does have a 6 teeth smile.

Counting in this picture on the left side she has a 6 tooth smile. I just think it's rare for Ayu to smile that hard http://www.generasia.com/wp-content/...i201102002.jpg it's really hard to see though I counted 6 maybe I'm wrong.

I think the problem with the 2 CD is

-Bad lighting
-Too much contrast
-Abnormal Ayu smile
-Contacts
-Angle
-and pretty much everything else

Spoiler:

This smile is big/fairly big and it looks fine :-\

I blame it on her new teeth.

I shopped it, darkened her lips, teeth, hair, eyes. Lightened her skin and made the whole image more on the red hue/color instead of blue-ish. I also made her hair more of a bright blonde almost her strawberry blonde. I did the lips pretty bad, but considering what I had to work with this was the best I could do. It looks way better (to me) It looks like Ayu

You made it worse. She looks like she has invisalign now.
"Lightened her skin" in only a few random spots, so it just looks...Wow. No. Sorry lol.

[stivenoto]

Love those covers..

Very summer looks..

[x-megumi-x]

I'm not too fond of the 2CD. I don't like her tan, the lenses and her smile...
I'm waiting for a bigger version of the 2CD+DVD but it does look great!

[YUKARI]

I wonder if they can still edit the covers? Like I remember when Memorial address' cover appeared, it was a bit different --- they photoshopped more lashes and it was released like that.

May be they can still improve the 2CD cover???

I was right from the start about this. Leslie's talent has apparently vanished into the deep (underworld) and Ayu's perfectionist side - has been lost since sometime, as I can see. as if the eyes to release this cannot unsee the horrible, oh my God.

no, just no.

[ayufan-]

I love the tan, i think it looks very summery and fun. I love the 2cd+dvd cover, but the 2cd version looks strange, but i love the fact she is smiling!

[jewelbox]

Again her smile lines have been lost into the void...
CD+DVD looks acceptable, but this wannabe glitter cover can't be Ayu! Why the heck they make her look like that?

[waterballoon]

need the CD+DVD cover in HQ ASAP otherwise my life will be over. #toogorgeous

QFTW

[Mari-chan]

It is nice, she is smiling at the CD-only-Cover.. but she looks a bit strange.
But the CD+DVD Cover is really good, from what I see now. But ok.. need bigger pics.

[Rurutia]

that DOES NOT look like Ayu, even my boyfriend thought it didn't look liker her, he said it looked like a mix of shakira and jessica alba lol

I don't like it, looks unnatural, scary smile, etc


oh ayu, what's happening?????

[RayJason]

It's so nice and heartwarming to see people trying so hard to improve the picture in PS. Keep on trying, you'll eventually succeed!
