    I did the eyes, cuz I'm actually fairly happy with the poppiness of the rest.

    this is my version4 (I actually used a LAB overlay and apply image technique for overall pop):

    then I did some binghott to the eyes (version5)

    don't know. They look a little too light, lost some green, but they do stand out a bit more.

    It just makes sense to me to get the image right overall and do the eyes last, is all...

    there's some good pop in the eyes, but it looks like you did too much dodging, just go back and try it again!

    The key is that your eye is drawn to contrast, so you want the most interesting element in the image to have contrast, within reason.

    To do this you make the steepest part of the curve be the part of the image that you want to draw attention to.

    BTW, Doc, apparently you can't get "chicks" you can get "chick", and are you really sure that she likes being referred to as a chick? You may end up chickless, if you keep that up! That's kinda like feckless, only worse...

    Anyway, chick or not, she's beautiful...

    I don't care what the "numbers" are saying. The original is a much more pleasing photo. The others look completely unrealistic. The girl has fair skin as can bee seein in the original and she's in the freezing snow. Which is why the red shows up in her face. I think it is cool, crisp and refreshing and she looks absolutely stunning. The yellow ones destroy all this and the photo loses its appeal.

    IMO.

    Trust me, I know, but in print, its different (even on my crappy little printer), the yellow/magenta thing is the real deal. nod.gif
