Re: Look at my last work!

Interesting image. It's too bad the photog really doesn't have a grasp of lighting and you had to paint most in. The skin pwl is nice except for the legs, but the dress highlights and shadows do not look good nor real to me. Her foot is overdone, her foot shadow is too dark (black band through it), the hair streaks look like mistakes (grey and some are going the wrong direction) and there is some banding, streaking, etc. in the background where you removed things and darkened areas (might be exaggerated due to being a jpg.) - Just some things I first noticed.

Re: Look at my last work!

Hi Shumski

i've looked at your photos i am afraid for me i found some of the photos the original actually look better than the enhanced, the boy with the rasta hair was a bit fricky he ended looking like a girl i wasn't sure which was the latter the people look to waxy as a newbie i found everyone seem to be going for these sort of look perhaps it fits with certain criteria and i am miles apart from the real world but nothing beat originality in my eyes.

i am sure you are happy and have worked hard with your photos in the end of the day it is what you feel that matter .

cheers

sergio

It was the image of boy, he just looked like a girl. After my manipulations he looks now as a real boy. The first image is 'after', the second - 'before'.

Re: Look at my last work!

i think you have done a good job....one of the things i think needs to be fixed is the pic of the guy all in white with the red white and blue hat band...it looks like it's pinned in the front or something...i thought maybe you could take that away...it was kind of distracting to me...i guess i was surprised that it wasn't taken care of....but overall your portfolio is very nice.

Hi shumski

you mean the boy looked like a girl before and you've given him what look like a start of a beard growing ummm it's either something fishy going on or the boy has the luck on his side with such a beautiful lustre skin for a boy that age and with his ethnic mixtures his skin would have some blemishes, freckles, acne etc it look like a role reverse to me there is almost no facial hair on his face i haven't come across anyone that age with such a lustre skin before my son is 22 yrs old he have stubs, pimples, facial hairs like every young man his age, your boy is a lucky young man.

cheers
