Nice image. Small amount of work on the skin. Mostly contrast moves.

it's a raw from a nikon d300, so you'll prolly have to use a current Lightroom/Capture NX or something similar.

Re: Free hires photo to play around with

Here is my try. I spent more time on the "look" then on the healing and such.
Thanx for the image Mac.

Re: Free hires photo to play around with

it looks like most of you are doing effects for the sake of effects and not with an actual goal in mind.

I'm sorry may be I misunderstood but for me it did sound as "negativity with no explanation and, most importantly no work of their own"
I apologize if I was wrong

Re: Free hires photo to play around with

Hi Macintosh,

Thanks for sharing your photo, I've gave it a try, I am very new to photo retouch so I hope i've done justice. It was nice to work on the photo.


Thanks
