Dancer 3

[AnneWynne]

Following GenieLamb's suggestions for Dancer 2, I fiddled around with another photo and learned a lot more pp techniques this afternoon.
Before:


After:


Removed background and replaced with solid black. I think my outlining abilities need some work. I also did some redeye removal.
The lighter forearm (her right) is due to the lighting. How would I improve/change that?

I may have answered my own question...I fiddled some more with the Render/lighting effects, added a spotlight on a second level and reduced the opacity by about 25%.


So, what do you think? Anything else I should do? Feel free to edit if you like.
Thanks,
Anne

I like the black background a lot!

Wait a moment - #2 and #3 are the same photo! I thought I was struggling to spot the difference. I think you've done a great job on cutting the dancer out from the background though... although that right foot needs some attention.

I think it would be good to see the same process carried out on a shot with a better pose and without anything obscured by the foreground.

you did do a great job cutting her out - especially the hair part...
