excellent job on those eyes jeanine- they just sparkle :-) #6850827

Dale Hardin December 04, 2008

Welcome to the club Jeanine. Have been waiting for an image from you and your first one is a stunner. The eyes are outstanding. Well done.

could you share your exif data? I'm especially interested in your aperture setting. #6851043

Jeanine M. Bailey December 04, 2008

Here is the original. #6851632

Dale Hardin December 04, 2008

Thanks Jeanine. I was interested in the aperture because of the DOF in your image but see from the original that you did wonders with the original shot.
As far as getting this info when it is on your computer, you can usually just right click and look at the properties.

Your gallery is excellent and I enjoyed perusing it very much. By the way, what post processing software are you using? #6852263

Jeanine M. Bailey December 05, 2008

Thanks Dale! I tried the right click thing but it didn't seem to work. I guess I'll have to look and see if I have a setting somewhere to change to make sure I keep that info! I'm using Photoshop Elements 6 for post processing. #6854402

Ulysses A. Villamin December 05, 2008

Ok, after seeing the original, I think that aside from that white spot on her shoulders, you kinda overdid the editing, particularly the eyes and the teeth. The eyes were to 'strong' and doesn't not look natural anymore. Toning them up a little bit would help. I do not have issues with the crop because it shows the angle that you chose to take her shot. #6854513

Dale Hardin December 05, 2008

A matter of taste I guess, but I like the eyes. Do agree that the white area over the shoulder is distracting and in view of the dynamic improvements you made to the image (which I like very much), I'd like to suggest one more.

Draw a loose lasso around the teeth (no need to be overly careful here) and then select a hue/saturation layer, select the yellow from the drop down list and slide the saturation all the way to the left to de-saturate. #6854908

Debbie E. Payne December 08, 2008

I LOVE the eyes,Jeannine. The only thing I might change would be to get rid of the glare over her left-hand shoulder. It is so bright that it make the eye go there. A simple clone ought to take care of that. #6867421

Irene Colling level-classic December 09, 2008

I love your dynamic point of view here Jeannine and your color adjust/sharpening enhanced the image.

Is the spot on her neck a permanent mole? I found it distracting and would have cloned it out completely if it is a blemish. If it is a permanent identifying mark I would at least tone it done to be less prominent.

Sue C. Cole December 12, 2008

I think hers eyes are what makes this image powerful. I would clone the bg as Debbie suggested and either tone down or read the mark as Irene suggested. Over all a dynamic shot and she s/b very pleased with this one.:) #6882765
