Nice crop. A bit too soft, and I am not sure but a little too much red on the face/neck. Also it seems a little washed out. Is this scanned?

Anyways, I did some work on it, hope you like it.

Yikes! Sorry, not saying that mine is better or anything, but now that baby looks a little on the evil side! Thanks for your input, though.

What kind of processing did you do on the picture? It looks out of focus in some places, neat imaged in areas and pixled or noisy in others places.

It looks too 'neatimaged' in my opinion. The tones look nice, but if it had a little more texture and noise, and maybe a little less saturation, it'd look a lot nicer.

Iâd have to agree with the âless is moreâ comment with neatImage⦠gives it that tell tell plastic look.

Aside from any issues of being oversmoothed, this image could be goosed a little by using the saturation sponge to pop the lips and eyes colors more, I think.

Ignite, how did you bring out the baby's eyes and lips like that?

I have to agree that the child looks plastic. The composition, color and frame are very nice. I did a version in duo-tone. Hope you don't mind. I think that duo-tone works well with the soft/smooth feel. I did add a bit of noise though.

Aaaah, was wondering what the sponge was used for! (in photoshop I mean! hehe)

Saturation sponge? I have Photoshop 7, but I don't think I've ever noticed that in my tool list. Though, removing phone lines from pictures, without it being obvious, is a huge accomplishment for me.
