They are all really close to being the same, which is probably why I can't decide. Which one should I enter, 1, 2, or 3... or try something different?

Thanks everyone. :D

    #1 is the best of the bunch, imo - and a terrific idea!

    FANTASTIC idea clap.gifclapclap.gifclapclap.gifclapclap.gifclap

    They're all great, but for me #2 has the most texture of the hair itself (and what beautiful hair it is!)

    Bravo!

    I second the great idea!!

    For me it's No.1, but can you pp it a bit to make it pop a little more? ( maybe a little USM, say 18,155 ( %, radius) )

    GReat idea ! I guess I would benefit of such donations :D

    Much prefer #1. The dof and the angle work better in this one.

    Thanks Everybody!
    Thanks for the input. I think I favor 1. I played with it a little bit more and this is what I have....not sure if it is right yet....

    I have not tried this yet, but I did sharpen the lock of hair up a bit and played with curves... Is this the right kind of pop?

    That's much better, yes the latest version pops, or jumps out of the page, better.


    The USM suggestion I gave would do sorta the same thing, when you use a low % and a high radius it boosts the midrange contast and just adds some clarity, it's worth experimenting with it to get the results that look pleasing to you.


    Well done on the pp on this one.

    The latest revision is the best! The image pops and the subject matter itself is unique. Well done. thumb.gif
