And I think the photo is better for the work you did. Stunning shot and great post-shot work. I can only compare this with my memory of the original but if I thought that the original had much room for improvement I think you nailed it here. This photo is a strong composition and carries with it a range of elements from tack sharp eyes to well-defined hair to creamy, soft skin with a nice unobtrusive background blurred out of competition with your subject. I think either would be strong examples of a good portrait and just from your own word and my memory I have to think that this version is also a testament to your work in PhotoShop.
Thanks for sharing this,

Thanks for the input Kevin. I went back to the original image and worked this shot up a little better. I smoothed the skin out a bit and sharpened the eyes. I hope I didn't go too far...
Thanks again for the input! |

David,
This photo is a fantastic portrait. I like the creamy bokeh in the background, the depth of field is deep enough for the whole subject, the composition allows her to sit on one side of the photo and have room to look out the other side. I like that you got her eyes on the top thirds line, that her stole gives a nice, sweeping element that the viewer can follow down to the broach at the intersection of the bottom and lefthand thirds lines. The only things I think you might want to think about would be adding a little bit of blur to this or if you USM'd it you might want to raise the 3rd setting to around 4 to maintain a softer, more feminine feel to the skin and hair. The placement of the broach clasp also makes it a very strong element because it is much lighter in comparison with its surroundings and it sits very close to the intersection of the two thirds lines I mentioned before. Perhaps burning it in a little might keep it from competing so much with the subject's face. Then again, I just don't think its that distracting. Oh well, something for you to think about.
I love this shot as it sits. Wish it had just a touch more softness to the skin and hair but its a fantastic composition, well-lit and well executed.
