In between her...
Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
Here's a little story behind the shot. Was simply at the beach, wife went into the spa. One of the girls that work there was putting on a make up, which would have been a really good shot had I taken that pic, but saw her looking at me through mirror. Then she turned around and smiled so since I'm waiting in the sitting area, I just asked her "would you like to get your photo taken?" She said "yes! of course! How do you want me to stand?" I am still learning how to do portrait shots so now I'm confused. :x So I'm struggling to take my camera out and trying to set the camera and trying to figure out what to say. Finally I said, "just give me a smile" Took couple shots.

Here's one of the pic. Let me know how I did for my first time (taking picture of someone other than my wife) How did the eyes come out?

You are one creepy dude LOL JK. The background is too busy. Need shallower DOF.
 
Yeah, I thought of that while I was PPing it. What would be an easy way to blur background if I don't have enough space to move back and zoom in on the subject? Or is there a way to photoshop it? Here's the other shot.

use your f/1.8 LOL. You could blur out the back with photoshop but you have to select around her. Not sure if it is worth the effort.
 
magnatic laso works really well, if I had to I could. And yeah, next time I shall use the 1.8 DOH! I'm an idiot for not thinking it. But man, I am just too excited about the new lens and yesterday was the first day to really test it so I wasn't even thinking about the other ones in my bad :lol:
 
Those eyes look really unnatural IMO
 
That ain't no girl...that's wooooman!
 
her eyes and teeth are way to white... *WAY* to bright. did you do this in PP?? o_O
Also her eyes.. ( like another person stated) look unnatural. And her smile looks fake.

however the picture on *your* end.. looks pretty good.. maybe a more shallow DOF like suggested above as well.
 
She has a strange complexion/everything. Cool eyes though. I love seeing Middle Eastern people with yellow eyes, it looks great.
 
the eyes are a bit fake looking. too white but overall, she made the pic because she is kind of sexy
 
brighten the eyes a little more- reminds me of Big Trouble In Little China.




p!nK
 
I'd be interested in seeing the original. I think her teeth and eyes are too white. It makes her look slightly goulish.
 
yeah I think the eyes and teeth were a little too bright, I'll fix that, but her teeth really was bright, I think she's got it whitened or is just naturally white, I've never seen anyone w/ that bright white teeth before LOL

PerfectlyFlawed, yes I did PP it w/ photoshop too, had to brighten it, and adjust some stuff. Like I always say, shoot RAW you always have lots to adjust. I will later post the pic of the original as well. I'm waay to tired now, need some sleep! :lol:
