Eyes Wide Open

Greetings from the Critique Club

Hi Judi!

Nice shot! I love the contrasts in this photo except one place - the beads that come down are grey. You've got great whites, good blacks and then these greys hanging around - it sort of tones down the "high contrast"

In portraits, I always try to get the eyes in focus. I get "soft focus" but in an advanced editing challenge, you could easily bring the eyes back in focus with the history brush or by using layers.

OOH, know what would really make this shot pop out? Unsharpmask settings of 20, 40, 0. Just try that. :D I see it! :) This is a great shot and with a 6, hopefully you're happy!

happy shooting
Matt

The hair hanging down is what "makes" this shot for me. It just gives it that little something unexpected that really makes you take a second look. Gorgeous color.

Please let me begin by saying this is only MY opinion...this is probably the 11th image I have encountered like this thus far, in this challenge alone...I'm not talking all of DPC...this "formula" is quite legendary...the head wrap, the gaze, "innocence"...but it is rather teetering on becoming a cliche...she is such a lovely little girl...perhaps I am wrong about the "formula" use here...yes, she is little red riding hood, yes...I like that...little red riding hood and she is confronting the big bad wolf...now that would be an intriguing idea! Imagine an entire series of such images...what fun! : }
