Train Seatmate

Had a death in the family and had to take an emergency 10 hour train ride... Anyway, couldn't sleep so I talked my seatmate into being a model for a few minutes and then I played with PS filters for the following 4-5 hours.

Enjoy!

    Wow... lots of views and no posts...

    Getting back to home on my usual monitor instead of a laptop on a train I noticed there seems to be a TON more noise in the jpeg versions (particularly in her hair) than in the RAW. Funny.

    Well I'll say something.

    #1 is too out there for me.

    #2 is good, very good, as I'm a bit of a softie for soft focus. I think it's a little bit too soft even, but the exposure is spot on, comp works and there's enough colour.

    #3 Nice conversion, if you have her address, offer this one (and #2). Probably fits her feelings...

    I like the softness of #2.

    Thank you very much! The only thing in focus in #2 (although it's tough to see) is the area around her eye socket. When I was working with it all blown up it looked fantastic, but down sized I'm not so sure.

    Thanks to both for comments!clap.gif

    Thanks. Ironically, #3 is BY FAR the least shopped. All I did was a B&W conversion and a highlight filter to bring out her face and white out the background. ne_nau.gif
