I should probably keep my mouth shut since, for the most part, I seem to be
way out of step with the rest of those who've commented on this photo.
But,
being a fool and having just taken some pain medication, I'm gonna jump
right in.
I don't like it the way it is.
First, there's a shiny spot on the tip of her nose - two actually. IMO,
they should be brought down some. Her cheek below her left eye is a bit
hot. That, too, might benefit from being toned down somewhat.
This is stuff I will do in post processing, I have done no more than the
minimal amount to put it on the web.
The photo appears overly sharp and, IMO, could benefit from a little
softer
look. The sharp detail of her pores does little to enhance or add to what
could be a very fine image. The wisps of hair that are over her left eye
appear overly sharpened. There seems to be some halos around a few
strands.
Just curious, Bill, what sharpening technique did you use?
Thats the smart sharpen tool in CS2, 1 pixel, 100%, used after resizing
using bicubic sharper.
I am thinking that if one uses one, one shouldn't use the other.
.
Well, there y'have it.
I appreciate the input. I'll put some more time into it soon, and let you
have another look.
