Hi all, Here is an image I've been working on:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/23028562@N04/6329908364/in/photostream/lightbox/ My friend brought her new baby over so I could try some portraits... the idea had been to capture some of those adorable, curled-up, sleeping-baby poses... However, baby Dahlia had other plans, so I did my best to roll with them. Looking at the images, I'm finding that baby skin is tricky business... I see a lot of newborn portraits that are over-done (imho), in terms of skin smoothing. I did clean up minor blemishes & spots, and tried a few other LR adjustments... but nothing really addressed the blotchy appearance of her arms...I don't want Dahlia here to end up looking plastic, but I don't want that issue to detract from the image, either. I could spend all day trying out different interventions & comparing results, but I thought I'd get some feedback first... Would you address the blotchy? Or leave it? What would your go-to method be? Thanks in advance for your thoughts, :) -c -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
