    She is a pretty girl with a pretty smile. Guess all I would do (and it would be experimental) is giving it a bit more sat/pop. Lighting appears just a tad flat but still a nice shot.

    Oh Yea! Now you're cookin! clap.gifthumb one more little trick.....create new layer (under layer menu up top), set mode to "overlay", then check the box for filling with neutral gray. On that layer, use small brush at 15% opacity and paint the teeth and whites of the eyes...then maybe lower the opacity of that layer to about 50%. This will make the eyes sparkle...sometimes I do the entire eye dependant on the look.

    Pros:
    • nice smile
    • cute model
    • nice bg/fg separation with blur and luminosity, DOF is spot on
    Cons
    • lighting is a bit flat
    • tiny whitish skin defect (or whatever) under *her* left eye
    Good job overall!thumb.gif

    Wow thanks for separating the two (pros/cons)...I see what you mean about the white spot...she had a small blemish...I suspect when I was healing it out...I went overboard. Thanks for noticing that.

    Thanks again for taking the time and commenting.

    Another beauty.

    Seneca, how did you pose her for this shot? Are you standing on a stepladder while you took this photo? I'm curious about the perspective you've achieved.
