Not sure if this works. I loved the expression on her face but the background was very messy with pinks and blues. I tried blurring just the background to create a look of shallower DOF but it didn't work very well.

I've now done a slight blur, used a highpass filter and lowered the saturation.

What do you think?

Something just isn't right....... I think you have made her look to anaemic and not healthy looking. It's a bit unsettling.

Yea i agree with photostar_1 about the "unhealthiness" lol of the shoot but then again the paleness makes her eyes stand out more which is quite striking

 

[Snake Man]

Thanks for the comments. The eyes are actually the original colours - the only good bit of the photo lol

cute shot, wrong processing. She does look unhealthy

Even the whites of her eyes are blue, scary

I echo the above, wouldwork better with a warmer light

Reminds me of the kids from village of the dammed

Well, at least this photo will serve as an example of what not to do.

Love the eyes but agree with whats already been said..

 

[Snake Man]

Right, this is the original with the background removed. No other processing.

That is much better, I'd be tempted to crop to a square.

(lovely girl by the way )

Awww I recognise that baby - hee hee!

I prefer the original - the edited version looks a bit weird because the whites of her eyes are blueish - strange isn't it - I've found that on a few I've taken of her in the past!

Either way, she's gorgeous!!! (Though I'm obviously biased!)
