Senior Blends

[Melody]

I haven't seen this sort of thing on here, however it's quite popular on others...something I've never done before so naturally I have to give it a try anyway :getdown:

Some seniors love to have their images REALLY TWEAKED this isn't nearly as far as some I've seen.

I'll show the plain image and the tweaked one.

I'm not happy with the shoulder and I've played and played with the mask. It looks like I've gone too far, however I haven't must be just a tad too hot.

Here's where it started...

Melody,

I think that's a terrific effect and I'm sure the young lady will love it. I also think your lighting is superb.

This really makes the shot. She is beautiful and the "plain" shot is great but the edited shot puts it in a special class. Congratulations. :cheers:

[Melody]

Thanks Charlie, Jim, :)

It's definitely a work in progress, however you know I'm finding it a lot of fun to play with :getdown:

Some I tried yesterday just didn't work at all :( not discouraged though, I'll just have to shoot some textures and colors myself so I've got plenty to choose from and then experiment.

I was expecting wrinkles :p
What a pleasant surprise, a flower in full bloom, a thing of joy and beauty.
:love:


:D :righton:



P.S.

just wondering how the pose could be tried diffently without cropping out the hands, do you have other versions ?

Love the frame :goldcup:

[Melody]

Do I have other versions? :rofl: :rofl: Oh yeah I've got plenty and yes several including maybe this one with her hands, hated the nail polish BLAH red! I could change that I suppose hmmm....working on a 16x16 template of her now, she changed let's see green, pink, burgandy, white, tan, blue...all shirts...do you think I've got more? :crazy:

Stay tuned I'm editing :getdown:

Thank goodness this sort of senior really doesn't have wrinkles or it would take me a lot longer! :lol:

Melody

[Melody]

Now I'm just being silly but ya know I quite prefer the ones where I can't see her hands! :lol:

Oh ok I'll be back with some with hands I promise or rather that's a threat :rofl:

Melody

[Serge]

Gulp.

OMG :woot:

Take my breath away :)


Think I've been doing too many panos, time to get back to some flowers :D

[Igor]

Great work, Melody, love the final image!

[chris72]

Very nice portraits :clap:

[Melody]

I'm sorry I'm a bit scattered lately :(

Thanks guys, I'm still playing, haven't really got the feel for this yet..I've looked at others and many don't take the various layers off of the skin in areas that for whatever reason seem very natural for me to yet I like the look they have so I've got to practice :baldy:

Here's another one with 'hands' no fingers showing though :lol:

I couldn't concentrate this morning so I came back to play with it a bit more.
