Whatcha think? [not a picture of a kid.. lol]

She had went to get her senior pictures done.. And was on her way back while i was at a friends house, they stopped by and her mom wanted me to get some pictures.. So.. there's one of them.

These were just kinda random.. Like, I had no intention of taking pictures.. lol. And they were just to "see what i could do"

Looks good,
Did you happen to soften her face and cut some of her eyebrow out?

It looks like a good shot, but that the PP ent over board!

I don't mean to be harsh... the face looks like plastic, and I feel as if the arm has been digitally scultped (?). I also feel that it is too saturated/vibrant, but that may just be my taste.

However, I think the lighting was good. Could you post your original?

She had acne on her checks/nose. Had to do that to overcome it. I personally thought it didn't look to bad as far as the PP goes, I've seen worse done when softening a face. I also like a colorful picture. Are you on an LCD monitor? Could be the case there too if you haven't calibrated it.

Your PP looks great to me. Not overboard at all. I personally feel some of the wedding photographs I see around here are WAYYY overdone, but the brides like that.

This girls will like what you've done. Good job.

I agree. The plastic skin look.

This one looks great though. Might be a bit oversaturated on the skin to make it appear a bit rosey, but still a nice picture.

PS = Spot heal. New layer. Skin Smoothing to hell and back. Layer transparency reduction to fit.

There was to much just to do a spot heal, or so i felt at the time. So i did a gaussian blur instead with a layer mask instead.

OK
Because you were too lazy to respect either your 'craft' or your subject, you took what might have been a nice picture of a lovely girl and turned it into a plastic looking, stamped-out, garish, over-saturated piece of crap.

How's that?

There's never too much. It just means you have to spend more time on it.

Step away from the picture and look at it from the eyes of a critic and forget that it's your picture. What do you see is wrong with it?

:thumbdown:

I totally disagree. I have seen that in a few pictures around here. And I managed to tell the person constructively thats how I felt.

Instead of gaussian blur, do you know how to create an overlay mask? It works better than the blurring.

I don't think you overdid it anyway, but jeez.

I think it looks very well, great job.
