Challenge: The Eyes Have It! (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Lens: Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 Soft Focus
Location: Home studio
Date: Feb 5, 2008
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 500
Shutter: 1/60 sec.
Galleries: Portraiture
Date Uploaded: Feb 5, 2008

Lots of stuff done to this so that my model would continue to be my model - I sort of was forced to, um, glamourize?

Shot in natural window light coming from model left with a reflector at low model right.

Part 1: RAW, crop, sharpen, hue/sat (reds and yellows), brightness/contrast, levels, brightness/contrast.
Part 2: NI, border

Really struggled on which to submit - this or an edgy high-key version: I actually like the version I didn't submit more, but didn't think it would do well on DPC.

I like this because I can't really tell her mood but I know there is one. Is she sad, amused, pensive? The mystery makes the shot. OH yeah, she's also pretty.

A little too soft for my taste

I like this portrait, I feel the light is a little harsh on the right side

I like the soft focus and the eyes look great. I would maybe trim down the border--its really heavy to me, and it takes away from the nice portrait.
