I'm trying to improve my protrait technique and I offer up this image for critique. Shot with my Ricohmatic 225 on Agfa APX 100 film. Developed in Rodinal (1:100 for 60 mins) & scanned on my Epson 3170. Heavily cropped in PS7 with contrast & levels adjusted. I like the pose and the tight cropping but I think I overdid the increase in contrast a little - some detail in her hair has been lost. I tried smoothing her skin texture by using a blurred second layer but it looked very artifical so I've left it alone. Comments ??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Widall, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.ist.uwaterloo.ca/~fwwidall ----------------------------------------------------------------------
