What I have been experimenting with C+C

[cdino88]

Just some portrait and aquarium work I have been getting into. Let me know what you think.

Also yes I know the little clown fish isn't tack sharp, I like the mood though.

I really like the two aquarium shots, despite the slight blur I think the angle of the clownfish in the last one, as well as the color contrast make it really strong.

 

[cdino88]

Yeah that is the reason I posted it without caring too much about the focus. Thanks though

I like the last one... I really like the bubbles at the top to break up the blur of the water.

the third one is a little blue, and there is too much re in their faces, fix the white balance, and desaturate the reds a little. the eyes are also in shadows, and there is a lot of harsh glare on their skin
here's my edit

i also softened her skin, removed some of the glare, and whitened her teeth

You've lost a lot of color on their lips and eyes, they look rather cyanotic. The skin discolorations do look better on his cheeks and the shininess of hers.

wow, i didn't even pay attention to the lips

i guess i should have looked closer

 

[cdino88]

To be honest I'm not seeing the blue. Not a fan of that edit either, they look very artificial. Thank you for the input though.

He's almost purple, like an cross breed btw an oompa loompa and a smurf, that just got done eating a red push pop! How can you not see that? Not quite that bad, but still the color is off. Your monitor probably isnt calibrated if you really cant see the color is off.

I was bored this morning so I edited the picture.

Adjusted the WB a little bit, removed some of the blemishes on the guys face, removed the shiny spots on the gal's face, and smooth out the skin tone. It's nothing fancy but that's what I'd do. I'm a noob also.

My edit:

your edit looks bluer than the original! If you just warm it up a BUNCH i think your edit will be perfect.

That's a matter of personal preference. To me, the skin tone of the girl is too warm in the original picture.
