I'm really not sure what I'd do wit that one (other than stop her looking so red wink)
Right, you keep saying this and I've even bought a new graphics card, monitor and done some calibration. You're costing me a fortune!

To me, that looks "about right" with skin tone, and I've even adjusted hue and chroma ever so slightly. The lighting was an octabox on my left with a gold reflector hanging from the right, as I knew I'd get a bit of shadowing on her left hand side and wanted to keep what I could and have it slightly warm.

What about these?


First one I cant work out if it's a window in the background or something like a suspended mic in the foreground with perspective being played with. Second one's stunning, I'd have gone for a more moody expression with the lighting, but horses for courses

Hello.

This is one of my favorites, taken in South Sudan a couple of months back.



This is a bit shocking, taken last night. Are random self portraits allowed? I hate having my photo taken, mainly because I always look this rough!



Cheers.

Mat.

Normally quiet and reserved.

Throw on some drum and bass (her choice) and it's like a wild child..

These have come on a way since I first saw them on Flickr, nice processing and like that you've varied composition

I'm going to post this one from today, I've been playing with Color Efex Pro again, and this time I'm going to buy it smile
