Cool Too much?

I tend to lose my objectivity when I'm editing my photos. Is this phot over processed?

Actually it is quite well processed. But one thing I have to mention... The nose is too flat, more depth would be better. I would try to darken the left side (from point of view) a little bit...

I agree with hotsoup about the nose; it does look a little flat.

Also, the thing I noticed with your black and white processing is that you lose the impact of her hat. Other than that, I think you did a great job with the processing; it isn't overdone at all.

I would maybe recommend seeing how a color photo looks instead of the black and white. If you do stick with a color version, I would tone down the reds in her skin. On my monitor, he face looks a little on the red side.

I like your choice of crop, too! Nice job!

Thanks for the feedback. I totally agree about her nose and the photo on the left is SOOC so if I decide to use color I will definitely tone down the red.
Thanks

Nope, however the hair on the left of the final desaturated picture could be given some consideration.


To a layperson their eyes may not travel there, as a photographic enthusiast it distracts my own.
