I posted a version of this in B&W in the general gallery and it received no response. I thought I would try out this version. I must say, B&W is where my heart is, but this color version is growing on me.

i like this alot. He is gonna look back at this when he is in college and will appreciate it alot. great shot. Id love to see you back up a tad more for another shot.

Thanks, I have quite a few from this session. Several of him with a full body shot in this position. I am just a sucker for close head shots. Plus his stance was a little awkward and detracted from the shot.

 

[Corvphotography]

i totally understand.

I like it. It's not too over done, but it is nice and detailed. Did you unsharp mask it, or up the clarity? It looks more like clarity.

feels overprocessed to me. I like the original better.

I used high pass then blended it using vivid light with an opacity of 70%.

Thanks for the compliments.

hmmm. I completely forgot about high pass lol. I've been using clarity in LR to get the effect lately so I totally forgot that I used to use high pass for it.

I set clarity at about 50 in ACR and I added this high pass just to give it that little more umph.
