Re: New background...

Honestly..... Nah! does nothing for me Sam, I have an aversion to anything orange or peachy though it looks quite peachy/apricot, which I think only flatters a few people I think. XXX

Nice pic of Jack though

Re: New background...

Does it work against the skin tones? Cant help feel its a close match between the two......

Re: New background...

Yeah I can see light brown, but it seems to have a light peach in there too LOL

Really not sure about it though, it doesn't seem like you, and not really a child colour? It depends what you want it for though?

Why are you not sure?

That's it!!!! It blends into Jack's face, not enough contrast between the flesh tones and the backdrop

Yes I agree, but I do like the colour, perhaps if like you said it should of been hazelnut, the colours wouldnt of been so close, however personally I still think there is a subtle difference clearly seen, but I understand your thoughts on it.

Re: New background...

It's a nice background, but it's too close to the subjects own skin colour imo - but I do like the colour

Re: New background...

I agree - lovely colour, but not a colour for skin tones. It blends in and makes the child look a little more orangey than he should be. It's a shame though, as the colour is gorgeous. Perhaps using it for certain animals?
