    15524779-Ti.gif - very lovely sister.

    C&C

    The first one is very nice. You have good light on her and you have the near eye nicely in focus.

    The other two don't work for me, they are focused on the side of her head. With portraits, it's usually best if at least one eye is in focus (if you have eyes in the photo). Failing that, it's the point of interest that should be in focus - somehow, I doubt the side of one's head qualifies as a "point of interest."

    You know what's funny? I thought I had put her eye in focus. I think I'm going blind because when I'm looking in the viewfinder, the picture is different from how I see it.

    And I'm looking over the pic and I still can't see the focal point. LoL.

    On #1 the focus point appears to be the outside corner of her right eye (the one closest to the camera).

    #2 and #3 it appears the top of her ear is in sharpest focus.

    1st shot is great..she has lovely smile and eyes. Shots 2 and 3 really don't do anything for me.

    I will make it unanimous!
    I agree with the others. I really like number 1. Her eyes and facial expression are great. Thanks for sharing.

    She's definitely lovely!

    Picture #1 is the best of the bunch. The composition is good and it also shows her nice, sincere smile.

    My biggest gripe with it is your skin blurring technique. The only effect you're achieving is to give her skin a fake, plastic-like feel. You'll get much better results if you just stick to the healing brush and remove any temporary blemishes.

    If you like, post the original picture and I'll see what I can come up with along with a step by step description.
