The Perfect Secretary - Revised

[Granddad]

I know what it is as I have one but nhs will not do mine until I loose weight
Anyway back to photography nice images, and nice post processing
You could try the young office girl on the bosses knee that period you are working in it was not unknown
You have to mark it nsfw don’t want to give modern bosses ideas and gave some young man sat on her knee lol

When you've lost the weight (I was a bit concerned about that myself but it turned out that I was within the acceptable Body Mass Index) don't be too stressed about it. I'd heartily recommend the team that did me but it's very unlikely that you are in the Lincolnshire NHS trust region. John Coupland Hospital (Gainsborough) Surgical Day Care Unit gets a 10 out of 10 from me.

As for sitting on the boss's knee, even though the surgery was a breeze I don't think we'll try that one for a week or three.

Awsome photo, My father still uses a phone like that.
Is this a composite?

Thank you. The phone is a used reproduction bought on Ebay as a prop. It's supposed to be functional but I always hated rotary dial phones, long numbers leave you with a sore finger.

It's a semi composite, shot against a white vynyl backdrop on carpet but put through Portrait Pro's layer function to change the background colour and then used the opacity slider to allow the original texture and shadow to show through a little (maybe not enough). The certificates on the wall and the skirting board I grabbed from the internet.

I applaud your vision! Your photos always amuse me and bring a smile to me.

Homework completed, I think I covered all the bases that were suggested apart from the expression, that will be another image. I wasn't too sure about the expression myself TBH but it grew on me, it has an almost Madonna like quality and inspired the "Perfect" part of the title.

Edited to add... I see I forgot to add a drop shadow to the certificate. Too tired to correct that now.

Nice work on the image and its corrections Mark.
Many of my friends, we're all in late sixties to late seventies, have things going on with skin that depending upon the intent of the image might benefit from some editing.
If you're using Photoshop you might enjoy researching "frequency separation" techniques for retouching skin.
It is a method for separating color from texture. This way we can keep normal looking skin texture while reducing some blemishes. It's a method that works even with my ancient Ps CS4 version of Photoshop.
