Time for my close up!

I know i do shots of the kids ALL the time, but tough!!

Im trying out some new PP and would like to see what you all have in the way of CCs.

Be Brutal

Original:

Right I can't get techie

But I will give you my gut reaction......


I feel the blue of the eyes and the orange are competing against each other too much. Sorry, it is a great shot though.

Don't hate me!!!! xxxxx

I can't get technical either, but for me, it's to close a crop, the face seems very flat, no depth to it, and a bit over exposed, it's all the same colour, hope that makes sense, and the eyes are too blue, hope I've put across successfully what I mean, without offending you

Hope we're still friends

Thanks both - im now utterly devistated and never using Yo Again due to your cruel comments LOL

Ok taken on board your suggestions and desaturated his eyes and burned back in some shadows. To clarify, i shot his face with flat light to intentially enhance the eyes and took out some of the remaining shadows (but by indication, should have kept in to retain some detail?)

Do you hate me now??? I can't do C&C , i can only tell you my gut reaction, sorry xxxxxxxx

No dont be daft! Gut reactions are fine as long as people understand what you mean

Love this... So much better!!!! I think the eyes were just too bright before, I really do like this. xxx
Glad you are still talking to me.

Thanks John walked in before i posted it and mentioned the eyes - but im a stubborn cow even when i know im wrong and wanted some opinions before i changed it! LOL

Much better KK I like that a lot

My problem is not knowing how to put into words what I mean

Thankyou

CC can be really difficult at the best of times. The more you do, the more you will understand what to look out for and how to word things
