Another try at saving my "Hannah-Pics"
Did I Over-Do the Photoshop on this one?
I was going for Vintage/Glamour..

| You made her look like Jamie Lynn Spears. Way too much processing :P |

Too soft for me. It looks like her hair is sharper than her eyes. If you soften her skin be sure to exclude (with a feathered selection) her eyes, nose, mouth and anything important.
Also, as in your "golden hour" pics, her strap is twisted and distracts a bit.
I do like the sepia here though.

i think this type of editing has its place... i call it fantasy retouching (found that in a book once, so it's not my original term)... i am one that doesn't mind the softness-- it's pretty, just not realistic... so if you're going for pretty, then i love it. but if you're going for realistic... it might be a tad much.
you did mention you were going for glamour, so i think you've achieved that with the processing, but the pose/clothes/etc. don't scream glamour, so there's a little bit of contradiction.
but, like i said, i am a fan of the softness. i think it's pretty.

Totally agree. This is the type of photos that they look for in advertisements. It's neither too much or too little, but depends on what it will be used for.

processing is fine...this is definately a legitimate style of processing. Just because some don't like it doesn't mean you should change it...they have opinions.
If there was something technically wrong with the processing then that would be a reason to change it. If this was the look you were going for then keep it...like I said, it is legitimate technique. |
