I agree completely. The lights don't bother me at all. I think they add drama. The barrel distortion and the way the dress looks as if it had been crammed into a spare camera bag for transportation to she shoot bother me more. The distortion's easy to fix but the wrinkles in the dress could take hours in Photoshop to get right. (I had a go with the web version if you'd like to see.) Great job on the compositing. The area where the dress meets the floor on the right looks a bit funky, but I thought that was just an artifact of a curves adjustment or something (easy to fix). I never even thought "composite" until you mentioned it. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- 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.
