Portrait (Not for the challenge)

[denisr]

So, there is a challenge but I have a couple of old shots that I would like to show.



lemme know what do you think and where can I improve...

1. you might like it , try to zoom in more a little bit to fill the frame (..the backgroud is not relative to your subject.)

2. Smooth skin tone. Can you photoshop it a bit ?

3. If possible, can you light her face a bit with either small fill flash or a reflector? or simply, turn your subject face a little bit towards windows


ooop . did I talk too much

I love the expression. Over all, the picture is really good. You could handle just about all of the suggestions in the previous post just in photoshop. #1 becomes crop; #3 becomes lighten the face (either by using fill light in Camera RAW or perhaps the dodge tool in photoshop). As for #2, skin tones, all you need is to lighten. The tones are really OK in my opinion. All in all, though, I love the shot. A little post processing and you can make a very good shot into an excellent shot.

I would say the same!!!!!

It's a picture with a lot of potential (beatiful subject, good lights and nice accessories) just use them all to recompose the image

Thank you all for your great tips!

I must dig into point 2... still moving my first steps on post processing.

Point 1 and 3 should be fairly easy... shame I don't have a raw copy
