Thanks Amanda. Yeah, I liked this one too. I agree, it did need to be sharpened though. Maybe a bit more contrast, but I like it softer in tone. But this has been a great learning discussion. The main thing I learned was that my light was in the wrong place. So I'll have ot practice with that. But I did learn how to adjust my wb last night, with much better results! I just got off the phone with the guy, and I am picking up lights on Thursday! YAY!

Thank you, Larry. I think I like your version best. Sharpening is what it needed. I think the contrast was okay, maybe a tad big higher, but I like the sharpening. Thanks for your input.

Thank you Max, I totally agree. The lighting was terrible, it was flat. I have learned from this, that my light source was bad, and the placement of it wrong. So this has been a great learning tool for me. I think sharpening is exactly what it needed. I like the softer contrast, but the eyes definately needed to be sharpened. Thanks for your input and help!

Dale Ann, this is nice - I do like this one alot. I particularly like the tilt of her head, her natural smile and the shine in her eyes. All these comments are subjective, everyone looks at a picture differently. IMHO, I feel a little bit more contrast (only +5 on the contrast slider) and a little bit of sharpening to the features. I added the sharpening on a dup layer and painted away the effect on her skin. My 2 cents worth lol! Are you getting those lights - Im excited for you!

My 2 cents worth! |

gorgeous. I don't think it needs more contrast. I think what Larry Fosse did is excellent. it needed to be more sharpened.

It will work with more contrast, but the flash reflection on her skin is more visible, I think the problem is that the light flattens the details of her face and loses depth on her expression, if you can, try a different light source or bounce the flash on the wall, last thing, the softness is good, but you need more sharpness on her eyes. Of course what I said it?s only my personal opinion :) Bye, Max

I would like to see more contrast too- maybe an unsharpen mask with some selective blurring to soften skin tones. Great pose and good lighting here.
