Re: Portrait of me

They're nice, but both look a little unreal to me :/ Can't put my finger on it, but there's something not quite right.

Of the two I prefer the darker one.

Re: Portrait of me

Not too sure quite what I mean! but... perhaps, a bit too smooth - doll like even. Perhaps you are like this in reality! In which case, my apologies it just looks very over processed? I do really like the second one though, the more I look at it.

Re: Portrait of me

Yea I thought so...I have to agree. Now I know what bothered me all this time. And this plug in for PS is not good or I do not know how to use it.

Dawn: thanks!

Re: Portrait of me

They both have a very different feel T - I do like them tho.

Which plug-in are you using? Maybe tone it down a bit as I agree with the doll-like comments :-/

Love your eye colour

Moved to 'Does this work?' section of General as you are asking which ones better

Re: Portrait of me

I prefer the first one do you have a link to what plug in you used? I have loads but hardly use mine.
