I think the piece is well excecuted, but I'm not sure I like the "grunge" look on a baby.

I really like this look. Don't know how you did it, but it looks fantastic to me. The tone and color match the mood of the subject.

Really nice I like the overall look especially the skin tones.Maybe you could
write a tutorial explaining what you did

again really nice zganie

I've checked your website as well, and this pict of baby, I've liked what i've seen, but IMHO this pict and others at your site are totally different of styles. At your website there are before and after versions, the change is very impressive. Could you tell something more about your style -i mean your conception- so what to do at the shot and what at afterworks or load up a before version, i can't set this picture against itself.

Hello all and thank you for watching this post

My english isent very well so its difficult to write a tutorial

But i always answer every questions without secrets

I always photograph with concept and i know at the shooting what i retouch after the shoot

I dont have a must in the pp

What i always do is to raise the contrast (d+B) and change colours

I hope i have a chance in future as a retoucher

In 3 years i like to do that for living..... We'll see

Really great photo. Captivating. Even though I really like this one, when I looked at it the head seemed flatter than the rest of the body for some reason.

See you live near Heidelberg. If you were into landscape photography you certainly have some great scenery to take pictures of.

You're website was very interesting. Good luck with your dream.

I love this image but I don't agree... is not YOUR style.

I've seen this a lot

You really got it, the entire look, is great and impresive but I wouldn't call this MINE when so many ppl do it.

Sorry if you think I'm out of line here, just speaking my mind.

Keep up the good work.

@Natalia
Yeah, you are right.
The work of your links was my inspiration.
I call it my style cause i dont use plugins
It was all handmade.
Thank you for your words.
I like it when people write what is on their mind*g*

Yes plug ins suck

That's a lot of work to do it manually, it's real and I love that you used it with a baby, it really fits him.

Keep them coming !
