Interesting. Not as natural as I was shooting for, but then again, the softness is about as natural as a fog machine...

he likes to to cool different edits...pretty neat to look at.

I can handle that

Hah yeah, my stuff is usually a bit out there. I'm doing a huge crazy composite photo soon that will (hopefully) be strange in a good way. haha, but, nice original photo btw, it was definitely fun to play with.

OH GOD SHE'S BEEN BITTEN, RUN!! AHH!!




jk, NOW i'm done. but to smooth skin (when I'm doing subtle edits) I use the mixer tool on about 8%. It smoothens it out without shotgunning the entire pick with a gaussian blurr. the one i posted earlier is far more than 8% though, cause I wanted to be a little silly.

I am going to have trouble sleeping tonight!

The selective blurring is a little distracting...looks like blur, sharp, blur, sharp, blur... otherwise I love it..maybe smooth the skin a little...the makeup is very obvious

Haha no no, i did that as a joke in 5 mins as i was heading out the door so i hope nobody takes that edit seriously

Here's with the smile... same edit process, a little sharper on the eyes.

 

[Ernicus]

I like that one. A little "misty" for my liking...but that's not a bad thing...that is a "me" thing. I think its a respectable edit and I think your friend will like it.

 

[Ernicus]

...and definitely better with open lip smile...really adds to it I think...her face lights up more.

Did you sharpen back up the whole T (eyes nose mouth) or just her eyes? mouth/teeth do seem a bit soft to me still upon second look. Nose is good, to me, just maybe a hair more on the teeth without creating huge separation of lips/mouth. Don't work at 100%, do like 15-20 ish or so till you like it. Or if you like it and it's just me, leave it. lol

 

[TGordon]

Not to bad, good job

 

[ChristianGrattan]

What were you using as your main light?

I would like to see some kind of kicker or rim light to give her hair a little punch.

 

[chuasam]

actually, I changed a thing or two, this might be a bit better...not sure as my display sucks balls.

yes no no no no no. too much gaussian blur. It looks creeeepy.
Also, very very very very few people can look good with a head on shot.
