[/QUOTE]Believe it or not that shirt is actually like the original. It's kind of like a black and gray tie dye shirt. I think it's a quicksilver shirt. It does look weird in the shots, though huh?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but I really like what you were going for though.

I like them all. However the lip ring or stud or whatever it is called is very distracting to me.

I am not against them but for a family portrait it just seems out of place. I would PS it out.

Thanks for that. I've known the guy for a very long time, and he's had the lip ring since we were 16, so I didn't even notice it. I think they may want to leave it for the prints they buy, but if I keep any of these for my portfolio I will definitely PS it out.

I like the concept of the first one as well, might try a variation as well one of these days. Not much else to say that hasn't been covered already. However, is it just me or do these all seem a tad soft? Maybe its just me, I am on my laptop so the screen sucks.

First, Your user name is awesome.

There are a few that I used the Nik color efex filter on the glamor glow setting. I didn't leave it as soft as the default setting is, but that effect softens the photo's quite a bit. I didn't use it on all of the ones here, though.

When you use those glow presets, try adding a mask and painting it on the skin that way the hair, eyes, lips, teeth etc all stay sharp with no glow/blur, or at the very least just mask off the eyes and mouth which is faster to do.


Thanks for the compliments on the name.

My original plan was to make the parts of her out of the frame black and white also, but the best shots were of her hanging out of the frame. I think it would look alright with the bottom of her shirt and her pants black and white, but the parts of her in front of the frame would be kind of cut off mid color so to say. Do you guys things it would look good with what's behind and out of the frame black and white, and what's in front, and out of frame color?

I didn't read all of the comments. I think having the little girl's arms that are outside of the frame colored, and her legs and feet hanging out of the frame would look better. Also, the dude's thumb that is inside the frame is black and white. It looks odd that way...kind of sticks out like a sore thumb, imo.
