My Mum ( and Dad)currently lives in the states and I"m in New Zealand :(. Anyway it is my Mum's birthday on Nov 17th and she has requested some photos for her birthday. She actually requested photos of our whole family but there's no way I'm having a photo taken of me!!! But I am very happy to take photos of my girls to enlarge and send to her.
It was really hard to choose which photos and I have finally settled two for my oldest daughter Joyah.

Bearing in mind these are for an indulgent Grandma who just appreciates a good photo of her grandaughters than the finer points of photography!

OK i have had a little bit of a play to tone down the skin colour. What do you think?

Some more mucking around opinions?

Lovely shots!! I can imagine a delighted grandma when she receives them!!

On my monitor that re-edited photo of Joyah is a bit blue toned.

Can't go wrong with any of those shots of Nimue, great little model! I like the eye contact of 1 & 3, but there's something about the middle shot that is really special! I know.......... send them all!!

Hey Sue thanks for your feedback. Will keep working on it. As for sending three of Nimue ,Joyah would never let me get away with that I'd have to send three of her and then when would it end!!!

Had a bit of a play with that first shot of Joyah, not use if it's what you're looking for

Lol on my monitor her skin still looks red!!! But your version is much sharper and cleaner. Thanks for notes will try and follow. What worries me is what will it look like when i get it printed, red or blue!!!

What editing program are you using?

If ps, try Adjustment->Colour Balance....highlights and move the top slider to the Cyan side, play with it till it feels right

11/04/2005 04:48:24 AM · #11

What about this Sue look better?

11/04/2005 05:13:01 AM · #12

Personally, I like the colour in the first shot the best I think. 2nd edit shot the light looks a little flat, 3nd pic almost looks maybe like you're losing the middle tones. Could try that shot again......go to Adjustment->Selective colour->Neutral and moving the bottom black slider up a bit.

LOL....this is fun!!! :))

edited to say.....where's bear, 'n brad, 'n ken and all the other ps whizz's when ya need em!
