Pretty in Green

ifocus

A picture from my daugther kind enough to pose. I am learning about portraiture, this is so complex and full of details. Any feedback? JY

Any comments?

Lovely model.
Soft focus treatment is pretty but there is too much green tinge in her face, particularly obvious in circled areas. There are also a couple of blown out areas on her forehead, cheek and chin.

Thanks for the feedback, I shot with a flash boucing off green walls on purpose but I guess that it rendered the image too green! The highlights are far from being blown out on the histogram but the lighter tones on the forehead and the chin might not work? Does the key light too strong?

You're probably right that the light areas aren't completely burnt but the lack of detail makes them look that way.

This shot looks way too blurred and plastic looking on her skin. If you're getting into portraits, you'll definitely want a more realistic looking post-processing/filter technique. Remember-- portraits should look like the people you're photographing-- not all glammed over.
