My fave photograph

[BrieKayee]

Just recently put this photograph into a local photography competition and found my photo in the Gold Coast Bulletin (along with other peoples work) So happy that they decided to put my photo in

The skin is a bit blown out on the forehead and I feel like the eyes could pop more with some quick PP.

Hey! Your skin really looking blown, stunning photograph with plenty adorable face. Like most of it there is no doubt you win in the competition.

I was a bit bored, so I took the liberty of doing a little color management (still a noob so don't take me too seriously) what could a second perspective hurt? ...

Please excuse my over-zealous approach to what I think this girl should look like... I know nothing.

I do not mind the blown out look, I mean she has an incredibly fair skin, why not play off that? I give you a :thumbup: on the picture, I do hope you win.

Now the skin looks yellow thus making her look sick.

I think you need to calibrate your monitor. Now the image is a greenish yellow. Before it just needed a faint touch of warming to lose the slight blue in the skin.

It looks greenish on my computer, Dinardy edit is better IMO, but a little bit too red. It may depend on my screen.

This is close, now I would boost the color a pinch in her eyes.

What is up with these horribly deceiving thumbnails?

Here's my edit


1) Upped yellow a lot and red a bit
2) Sharpened it a good deal, more in the eyes and lips and hair than elsewhere
3) Pulled back the highlights a few points
4) Tried to accentuate freckles a tad more
5) Upped vibrance a bit on her and reduced saturation a bit on background
6) Tiny bit of vignetting

If you want to accentuate fair skin, I'd suggest upping saturation on eyes and lips instead of blowing out skin. You'll get the same perception but without loss of detail.
