Just got my girl friend to take a pic of me for myspace

[Yantorsen]

but I just though I'd put it up here to see what people think, I did the PP and she used my camera n that, she not even into photography, she was just being a dynamic remote controll tripod really.

I'm really un photogenic though

anyway what you think?

 

[..MD..]

add some contrast mate will make the pic punch out also a slight usm imo

I like it, I agree it might be better with a bit more contrast (but all my B&W pics have alot of contrast )

 

[..MD..]

ok very quick edit

md:shrug:

 

[Yantorsen]

Thanks MD, I agree the extra contrast gives it more punch, but I dunno why, but to me I look more "flattering" (if that's applicable here ) in low contrast. :shrug:

 

[..MD..]

no mate thats flat ....



md



sorry thats prob imho because in the 1st shot you blend in with the b/g somewhat


i will delete the pic tommorrow..

[..MD..]

[Yantorsen]

like that CT, hows this then?

 

[CT]

Nor sure what you're saying there Dave ,but I don't use PS. Here's another version with the highlights brought up a little, but still under control. Yours look well blown on my screen.

Just slide the gamma slider down to give the shot some beef then add a bit of contrast.

Version 2 is identical with the highlights just raised a tad.
