very different PP ?

blaser321

I took this photo a while back but thought I would give it a very different PP in cs4
I know it won't appeal to everyone but may be some one will like it ?

I think it works really well. Did you consider removing the three little freckles toward the end goal? I know that at some level you don't want to change the permanent features of the model, but it seems like you are going for sort of a high-contrast setup where the only dark points are the hair/eyes/lips.

Love the PP Only the tight crop bugs me a bit.

it's a very nice capture and processing ..just a touch wider would be nice and artistically I would clone out the freckles as mentioned

I would have liked a bit more of the left side of the face

Thanks for the comments and normally I would not clone out all the freckles bit in this case it really makes since thanks for pointing that out

Yeah, this definitely works for me as well! (+1 to the freckle-cloning) Great focus on those eyes.

I really like it! The only thing distracting me is the shiny bottom lip, it stands out almost more than the eyes which is where I want to look.

I think the freckles are fine.. I was so mesmerized by her eyes I didnt even notice them till some one pointed them out.

Just thought I would share the original just to show what I started with it was a sharp photo to start with. This a RAW conversion to jpeg and down sized.
It was take at 70 mm, 7.1 ,1/200, 100 iso

I really like the high contrast look on women. Must be a guy thing. Very nicely done.
