| Cameron Karsten (cam2yogi) Msg: #1 September 25th 2007 15:37:22 | Stunning image. I love the innocence of the child and a B&W composition works well here. The only part of the image that detracts the eye are the two little heads at the bottom right corner. I imagine some tedious cloning could take care of them if you're interested. This would allow the child on the left to remain the main area of interest while the two children in the rear are a juxtaposition to her innocence. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #2 September 27th 2007 06:38:43 | I'm pretty much with Cameron on this one. You might try darkening the "two heads"(?). Being light, they draw ones attention. Posting larger versions would be appreciated. Try shooting for about 800 wide or about 700 high for verticals. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Mary Beth Alison (Bethie) Msg: #3 September 27th 2007 22:35:04 | Excellent idea on darkening the two heads. Now just to figure out how... Also, Cameron, how do you do this "cloning?" Can that be done in photoshop? I was also wondering about the children in the backround. Do they detract from the overall picture or add to it for you? Since I know them I like it from a personal standpoint, but for everyone else would it be best to haze them out a bit? | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #4 September 29th 2007 06:36:41 | Cloning brush. One of the first things you should learn to do in editing. It's how you get rid of dust spots, etc. (But in this case I'm not sure what I'd clone. Cloning is basically copying one portion of an image onto another part. Easy to do when there's a dot of dust in a blue sky, just copy some blue from another part over the spot.) There's probably a better way to darken, but the quick way would be to use the Burn tool - select a brush with soft edges - and run it over the area for a while. That will at least give you an idea of whether to go that direction. The background figures, add to the shot for me. I'd like to see the eyes of the child on the right lightened a bit. You might darken/blur the upper left some.... | |||||||||||||||||||||
