I would like someone to critique this one for me. I haven't done much editing, and I am fairly new to photoshop. If you don't mind to, if you minipulate it or have any idea to make it better would you please tell me how you did or/do it? That would make my whole life easier thankyou!

I think it is pretty sweet, I love the 70's feel 2 it. There is one thing i would change, you see the space u left above there heads...well in my opinion I would want that at the bottom, were there eyes are looking, not at the top. But over all it is a stellar shot.

Here is a couple edits I did. hope you don't mind.

There is a strong color cast, so I selected highlight and shadow points and then used levels to even out the RGB channels. I then did a slight curve adjustment using the skin as my point on the curve, then created a duplicate layer and ran through NI and set the opacity to 80%, merged layers, USM, and cropped at 5x7.



Took the above and converted to B&W by converting to Lab Mode, select Lightness channel, convert to Greyscale Mode, bumped up contrast a tad, did another minor curves adjustment.


The pose is good, I would just suggest using a smaller aperture as your foster brother is slightly OoF.

Good work though.

Edited for typos.

Joe,

It's a very nice image, marred by a color cast in the red direction and a slight lack of sharpness. Here's my quick take on it. Click the thumb to see the full-size image and read the steps I took.



Oh, yeah, I cloned out a couple distracting things around her chin, on her eye, etc. And I softened slightly with blur tool the shadow under his jaw, as an afterthought. Looking at it now, this image may be a tad too desaturated, but that's easuly fixed.

Hope this helps.

Robt.
