Portrait of Weston again - any better?

I hope this is a little better than the first? I haven't blured a thing!!! lol just a little dodge and burn and thats it! same set up as the first one!



as always C&C welcome

What does the original look like FB? It still seems a bit unnatural on the left hand side :-/

Here is the original photo Azz

lol I don't think Photo bucket likes me???? both photos look different on here, from photobucket, than they do on my laptop???

Again I like the concept but think I would like the two sides evened out a bit, in other words a little less burn out on the left and a little more light on the right only still keep some contrast between the two sides, the eyes are wonderful so clear and intense. Now I don't like air brushing and the like on children but in this case I think I would have tried to smooth the skin on the right side of the face to counteract the slight imperfections brought out by the shadowy lighting. On the other hand I could be talking twaddle can only say what I would like to do.

Agree with you about the use of photobucket it does do strange things to all aspects of an image, think flickr is better but I can't workout how to use the link from there, mind you, you may have no trouble.

Ah k.. you've done pretty well there, what I'd look at again is just the left hand side, the shoulder and a bit of the hair/ear - try to get them more natural looking. Should be spot on then
