    1 and 2 are my favorites as well.

    I've always had trouble with color. Between the two computers we have, the monitors are both at different extremes. I can never really tell without more feedback. I've been meaning to build up a new computer with a good monitor to calibrate.

    I appreciate the feedback, and will try playing with the color on the rest.

    Congratulations!!!

    1&2 as well. Very nice job, espically given they are SP...

    Without knowing your monitor is calibrated, color will always give you fits.
    3/5/6 aren't too far off, perhaps just a tad magenta, but nothing you'd have to fix. 4 is very green & yellow

    Thanks! We were actually back in Austin when I asked.

    I've made some modifications to #4-6. Do the colors look better?

    Never mind the attachment is to low res.
    But the skin tone was C = 0
    M=18
    Y=14
    and it should be close to C=6
    M=18
    Y=20

    Congratulations! clap.gif

    Very nicely done SPs thumb.gif What I noticed about #2 is that you took of your glasses, but they are still in the shot, on the bench on your right side. Is there a specific reason for not wearing them (and having them in the shot)?

    Congrats!!

    1 and 2 are the best of the bunch but a very good shot at self portraits! thumb.gif

    I think the first could make for a strong black and white image too.deal.gif
