Default My Fiancée

(804)

Original Picture, in continuous dull white light

(804)

Added some brightness to the picture using curves in the photoshop.

(804) Sharp

Added some sharpness using Gaussian blur..

Do you guys think, i've over processed the picture and looks fake??


Cheers

SM

In short...yes. The background looks blown to me. She's also more yellow than in the original picture. I'm guessing she isn't that yellow.

i agree, overprocessed. but i also don't like that she is right down the middle of the composition. i DO, however, like the expression on her face

She has a great facial expression. You certainly have a beautiful Fiancée. You may try to just increase the exposure, add a little vibrancy, crop. Only my opinion. Go with what you like.

I agree, over exposed just a tad, not horrible, I also like the expression on her face, try different things, maybe crop so that the focal is her expression, and by all means like Penary says, go with what you like.
