Thanks- I will recheck when I get home. My work monitor sucks so they all look bad on here.

Thanks Nik- I need to get a much larger sheet of plexiglass as I have to eliminate the edge in PP.

I seem to do okay with the high key it is the other studio stuff I am not so sure of.

Hi anwmn1

#1 is very appealing! Just about perfect. Great composition, color and skin tones. For me, the top of the frame is a little too close to the little bloke's head.

#4 is one of the best captures of mother-child feelings that I have seen! I'm not sure about the apparent slope of the floor and I wonder if a tighter crop would mitigate the slight vertigo effect it has?

#5 is a great candid portrait. I would like to see a bit of selective sharpening for the eyes. cmorgan has sensitised me to armpits, so some might not enjoy the clear view of the one here. I can imagine another pose in the same crop which brings her hands together and so turns that arm down.

Nice clear, relaxed, happy-feeling shots!

Neil-

Thanks again

Really great shots, Aaron.

Looks like your studio is working very well for you. I'll have to stop by and get a lesson some time.

Man, I still have only one foot aboard PS. Correction, half a toe!!

You know, gotta love-hate Adobe. Some of its products became laughing stocks for their bloatedness and awkwardness. I know you can push PS into places no other SW can go, and get incomparably stunning results, but g*d, you can climb Mt Everest too for just about the same amount of effort! :ivar

Another thing about them - I DL'd LR trial and now because of where I currently reside (in a photographer's worst nightmare), I find there is no way I can PURCHASE it! I contacted them a week ago. Got a reply that they would answer in a day... Nothing. Enough to turn you pirate!

They are also paranoid, you can just about hear all the locks and bolts and chains protecting their stuff when you go to their site!

But I can recommend LightZone for selective effects. Dead easy, very obliging to your ideas, and very nice results!

You are welcome to come down at any time my friend. Just bring the Jeep so I can show you some of the backcountry and we can add some Arizona pin striping to it.
