Young eyes

[rogermbyrne]

Hey Guys first time in here and wanted to say Hi, I touched up this photo after cropping just the right side of her face and playing around in PS after, notably )to me) the nose needs reworking again and very noisey around the ear, as I really played around and around I'm not sure at what stage the noise came in (sharpening?) apart from clone stamp any other techniques that I could use again on the original to clean up the snotty nose in a better way?

Thanks!



The original albeit in B&W is here Shaima on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Camera: Nikon D3000
Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 200 mm
ISO Speed: 200

Just noticed that the ISO I had changed to 200 will that have a lot of impact less noise post processing if it had been 100?

You would have had much less noise if your ISO had been 100 or less. I really have a hard time seeing anything but her eye. If that was your intent than don't mess with it. If not...

Try some blur round the ear. It looks like it was originally blurry, so putting that back in (and perhaps some darkening) might be an effective way to deal with the noise. As Lightwriter says, you have clearly got the focus on the eye, which is nice and clear.
