Good, bad or total rubbish (nice word for the forums)

Playing with PP on this and I actually rather like the result, but is it just me that likes it? Be honest, and should it just be scrapped, and back to the drawing board? I tried to remove the loose hairs from around the eye and the odd strays etc.



Click for large, and thanks for looking

I understand where you are going but just a bit over cooked for me but I am sure some poeple will love it.

I can see what your after too, around the eyes is nailed for me for this style, (really look good those) ...but I agree with TSD, most other places it's overdone and you've lost many of the contours that make up a faces recognisable shape.

i like the fact that some of the faces recognisable shape have been lost, makes the pic something different.

Framing is uneven and too tight, and it needs a border to show structure.
Apart from that I like it.

I like this too, the hair is the just a bit to black (lack of defination) but still would be sure to put aPic like that on my wall of my Daughter challange on......... well done

I love the eye, but too much loss of chin for me

Thanks for the feedback all, I appreciate it. All comments and suggestions noted for the next attempt.

The blowing out of features was done by just ramping up the exposure (no air brush at all).

Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of space to work with as she was sat next to me at a garden table and was taken candid as she was reading her texts. Hence I aimed for the eye. I had the 105 micro bolted on at the time too
