Took this tonight, and had a play in Lightroom. Any thoughts?

First reaction was, she has a dado rail through her head Also, it seems a bit warm, WB off maybe?

Get her to smile next time

 

[Glitter]

The white balance looks off to me x

 

[Tulipone]

...agree about the WB being off - this looks a great example to have a go at eye popping also. Think there is a tutorial around here somewhere.

You have the edit box ticked, so i hope you dont mind.....

Just auto white balance change. Only you wil be able to tell if thats a more accurate image. Other than that, i like the shot!

A good intensive image. I agree about the dado rail though, either clone it out or put her on another background, she's also got lovely eyes and a bit of selective saturation and sharpening might help.............it has to be said though that i'm not much good at portraits.

That's much better!

Did a search for eye popping, but I only get 3 results :shrug: One of them mentions sharpening of the pupils. Can anyone shed any light on this?

 

[adamjt7]

Just done a 2 min edit sharpened the eyes and added a quick pp to the skin and brightened the image up...see what u think...

 

[NickTB]

That's brilliant! (I must say, she's not too impressed appearing on here in her dressing gown! LOL)

Is that done in PS?

 

[adamjt7]

yeah photoshop cs2 and a plugin for the skin realy simple...to get the eye sharp i used a selection around the eyes and used unsharp mask....

 

[NickTB]

Which plug in? sorry for the interogation, all this facinates me!

I was just about to do what a later poster has done (probably far better than I would have done).

I also understand that saying eye popping to someone could have several meanings!

...I have to say though, I was right. The eyes do stand out more now!

100% better. Yeah, if you do a search on eye popping it opens up all sorts of possibilities.. Especially on Google! lol

The plug in is called portraiture i have just done another quick edit and blurred the dado rail to give greater depth of field...and make your wife stand out more. and straightened the image...

 

[wontolla]

That looks brilliant! Your a genius!

Ok, I have approximately 3 gigs of pictures, where do I post them to??

Really well done. I want to learn these techniques to the same level. Good work fella!

LOL I just saw this!

 

[alexkidd]

did you do any editing around the cheek bones and under her eyes before posting? it looks blurry/soft to me

Not the cheekbones. I tried smoothing around the eyes pre posting though
