Hi dekker90,

.... this is a 'learning' Forum ... so what we will do is to teach you how to do the retouching yourself...
If this is not possible, you can always post your request to our Classifieds Forum where, for a fee, you can surely find someone willing to do the job for you...

As Flora stated in your other Post..

FAQ:
Will you do my restoration/retouch/repair for me?No. This is a site for learning, and we will gladly help you learn to do it yourself. We have a "Image Help" forum just for that purpose. Click on "Forums" on the navbar to get there. There is also a "Classifieds" forum if you're willing to pay one of our members to work on your photo.

Also at the bottom of her post in her signature box there are links on how to upload and post pictures..

This picture has a lot of noise and will loose some details when the noise is removed .. like shown below.. but I am sure that if you put a request in the classifieds someone will be able to do a much better job

Indeed.
And the wide angle induced perspective distortion is disastrous, imo.

but I am sure that if you put a request in the classifieds someone will be able to do a much better job

Though I expect that perspective distortion will prove this image's undoing. Even if the noise can be dealt with acceptably.

My advice would be: shoot that photo again. But this time better. Like with an ISO setting lower than 400, instead of the used 3200... So probably in the daytime.
That will take care of most of the noise.
And, as this photo illustrates, backup a couple steps, use a zoom lens, and zoom in to between 80 and 100mm.
That will take care of the perspective distortion without losing the intimacy.

.... Obviously some of us here at RetouchPro don't think it's necessary to respect the rules!!!

smudge retouch -

[Yowser]

I really don't understand. The rules to the site say that it's a learning site yet people still ask for an image to be retouched for free and try to pawn that request off as "help with an image". It offends and irritates half the people on this site when that happens, but for some reason there are a handful of people who are fine with retouching an image for free which enables more people to come on here and ask for more work for free.
If you are looking for images to practice on browse through the forums. Don't be one of those people who enables others to ask for free work.

Not contributing other than a remark: looks like the picture was taken using a phone.

[Vernon]

Obviously not!

[Flora]

Oh well... I merged the two practically identical threads started by dekker90 ... in a quest for a free ride....

Many thanks to Vernon and Yowser for their support in asking to apply the rules of the site...

next time you want loads of retouch of ur image put a BIG tittle like "RETOUCH CHALLENGE HERE !!!" in order to stimulate people's ego. they'll do it for free AND will be greatful to you.

Much more fun to learn it anyhow.
