Yesterday's Bridal

Cindy,

Are you using anyone's Photoshop actions?  Or, are you doing this all by your lonesome?

Ed

Yeah . . . I've become addicted to Kevin's actions as well!  I don't have the set with "Smokeless Burn", but I probably will by the summer.

Even the original capture here is beautiful, which just goes to show that you need to have something to start with.


Ed

BTW:  That's her right foot . . . where is the left one?

Ed

Uhm, am I going to be the only picky one.

Granted they look o.k. with potential.

#1 the tilt is abit awkward, the almost middle left side of the image, that thing is distracting. Vignette needs some work
#2 has potential, it screeeeeeems, black job on the floor, the shadow of the foot is a distraction and the blown out glass is competing for attention. Because it's white.
#3 is probably the most potential, more seperation from the hair to piano would be nice, and the "Plastique" make over is not overly appealing. abit of care in make over can be done with an "Au naturelle"

I hope I was honest enough.

Mike

I need a resume, hmm.

Well, I do have 25 years experience in Nature Photography, granted, I'm not making a living at weddings. It's not my cup of tea, however, I do have a few samples at my smugmug temp site until I have one on my own.

I'm in College photography program a 2 year.
Long story short, I reinjured my back, so, i went to college and moved my family here in London Ontario.

So, yes, i have some knowledge about exposure and especially photoshopping when I see it in images. Like you said, it's an internet thing, plus, we should all be open to critiques right. Not just a select few right.

So, respect comes in all packages, it's not about who is aloud to speak, it's a free country, well, it is in Canada.

in the mean time, i'll check yours out.

I like your presentation/site, nicely done.

I can't afford a site yet, in second year, we will be doing our own site using Dreamweaver macromedia, looking forward to that.

After second year, I will be having repairs done to the first surgery. There is a screw pulled, plus they are going to fuse L4. At the moment, S1 and L5 are fused, well, not really, it didn't take, as to why for further surgery. So, S1-L4 and posibly L3 they have to explore when repairing etc..

Not fun, o well.

Thanks Cindy

Mike
