Nice effect Fraggle. Has the look of a photo your grandmother might have from her younger days (y)
 
id have to say it dont work for me either. looks like a mannequinn in a shop window
 
Funnily, there was no smoothing applied to this image.. i just cleaned up some inperfections and then added a Diffuse Glow layer.. it seems to have de-saturated it a bit too.. i kind of like it but then i dont.. as you say MD.. its a gut thing!! :naughty: and mine may be bigger than yours!! :LOL:

Thanks for the comments so far guys.. (y)
 
I think the High Key and the soft glow are at odds slightly. Bring down the levels might make it more mellow or leave the softening out and go high key. :shrug:

Nice pic though and definitely worth more PP time!

Face is OOF and looks flat IMO

Knowing Tony's work I would be very surprised if the face/eyes are OOF. I think it's more to do with the PP.

I sort of like the effect if you could get a little more life into it.

Of course it's not OOF, only an idiot could take a static studio shot and get an OOF image - and I doubt Frag's an idiot

It looks 'flat' because 2 lights were used, the left light only would have given more modelling than the right only, and would be my choice

I actually quite like the processing, but would have held back a bit around the main part of the face & eyes; but it strikes me as suited to the enigmatic look rather than a smiling baby

Good effort Frag - now play with it some more and repost
