Fine at 50

Hopefully this is in the right folder - I was deciding between this and the people one. I looked at this as more of a portrait session, so, this was my final decision. If any of the mods feel as if it doesn't fit, feel free to move it

I will couple this with one other question about colour profiling. (For lack of a better term) In photoshop, I have them looking just as I want them, and when I pull them onto the net, it looks as if someone decided to train 30% of the colour. I know that the web has less gamut *correct term?* but I don't think it should be making that large of a difference.

Anyways, here is my all too willing mother, who put up with the cold and came outside for 5 min. Please feel free to critique in any manner on colour, perspective etc. I am really trying to bump myself up the learning curve here.

All of these images are also in BW- if you wish to see one or two of those versions just ask.

2. This was more of a fun shot - but it is starting to grow on me

Thanks!

Cool series!

Do you work in AdobeRGB? If so, make sure you "convert" the file to sRGB before you save it as a JPG. It's at the bottom of the "edit" menu in CS2.

Great shots !
It's nice when you open up a series of shots, and they all make you smile

 

[Peanuts]

Oh crumb! I think the RGB vs. sRGB very well may be my problem. I will have to play around with that - thank you so much for pointing that out!

Thanks to both of you by the way on your generous comments

I like them all. #2 is great. The smile looks so natural. Good job.

Great shots and your mom is a good model!

 

[PhotoSarah]

I especially like the first, but they are all great.

Your mom is very photogenic!

#2 is just wonderful. I like all of them, really, that one is just a standout for me. You did a very nice job with these.

 

[Alison]

What a great series! I really love the 1st one, such a natural and relaxed smile.

Your mom has very striking eyes. You have done a good job capturing them, and a good job framing her.

#3 is a little too tight for my taste.

Okay, so I experimented with the RGB vs. sRGB and that appears to be my problem. Thank you so much - I have been struggling with that one for over a year.

Once again, thank you everyone for the comments. She truly does have the most gorgeous blue eyes - I unfortunately inherited the not quite brown eyes *shucks*.

Here is a BW. Unfortunately the highlight in her eyes went a little wacky when I converted and her laughter lines look a little deeper than in real life. But this is a true 'expression' as is the first image - both of these followed the second in which I had threatened if she kept giving me those cheesy grins I would throw snow at her. Sure enough, she got it (All in good fun of course)

Just a little *bump*

Cool. I'm glad that's what it turned out to be.
