Trying to develop my Post mantra

[robertwsimpson]

what do you guys think of this?

It's probably very obvious who my inspirations are, and I'm not done tweaking my own style, but how do you guys like it? I'm open to helpful comments!

The PP effects? Don't like it.

 

[robertwsimpson]

ok thanks very much for your helpful comment.

For me it is too soft. I do like the color tones though.

 

[robertwsimpson]

It was quite a long process in post... Not sure I want to get into it until I hone it to be exactly what I want.


ct1200, what do you mean by soft? Do you mean I smoothed the skin too much?

 

[Drake]

Way over the top IMO, especially the negative clarity.

 

[robertwsimpson]

clarity was at 100, but thanks for your feedback. I realize that some people like this look and some don't.

 

[eric-holmes]

I would over sharpen it as opposed to blurring it. I see where your going though.

he looks like a zombie in your edit. I need to turn editing off.

 

[robertwsimpson]

please remove your post. Thanks.

Actually, I don't like my second edit. Darn this, this is difficult.

 

[eric-holmes]

Your photos were "OK" to edit when I did my edit.

 

[robertwsimpson]

yes, I know. Thanks for respecting my wishes anyway.

they look like over the top hdr's almost. Explain how you edited?
