| Ali Watters (Ali) Msg: #1 June 9th 2005 09:21:53 | Great shot, will be making sure I get more photos of people sleeping :) - I wanted to see this in black and white and grainy so, I switched on photoshop elements and - 1) remove colour, 2) add noise 3) brightness -3 contrast +11 - and this is the result. Hope you like it... not an attempt to improve the original just a different take on the same subject. |

And maybe not have such a western haircut. One thing that I wondered about when first editing this picture were the bright-white areas in the upper left. Seems to me that they are distracting and might be better burned in some. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #4 June 10th 2005 11:22:39 | Cropping removes the baskets, which I enjoy. I've got a 'thing' for baskets. Toning down the T-shirt might be a good idea.... | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #5 June 10th 2005 12:46:56 | The baskets are part of the environment, but IMO there isn't enough of them for it to be a true environmental portrait - so I'd probably knock 'em on the head myself. This would be a quick and dirty of what I'd do... Cropped, and then Shadows/Highlights Highlights@100% |

| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #6 June 10th 2005 12:55:15 | Yep, I like that. I'd probably tone down the 'red stuff' a bit as well. Draws my eye there and makes me ask "What's that?" And there's no answer. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #7 June 10th 2005 13:09:43 | Right, roughly selected the red rope with Lasso, then used Hue/Saturation Red/-30 to tone down the rope. Used a little USM on the face to bring out his expression slightly more. Also cropped fractionally tighter... I hope you like :) |
