Challenge: Color Studio Portrait II (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S3000
Location: Front Balcony
Date: Apr 16, 2006
Galleries: Portraiture, Studio

 Color Studio Potrait? Come on, ya know I had to enter THAT ;-) But really, this'll be the last self potrait for a while, hopefully. So, okaay...yes, yes..I know it's over-edited (especially the background), but there were a lot of nasty shadows that were ruining the effect I wanted.
The setup you ask? Fairly simple. I laid the boogie board on the floor of the balcony, placed tripod w/ camera over boogie board, set self timer, layed on boogie board, and hoped the camera wouldn't come loose and smash my face in. I literally only took one picture cause the camera was making me nervous :-P
Okay, editing: contrast, saturation mostly, with some cloning. I brightened the bg seperately and used the clone tool to get rid of some pesky shadows.

post: haha, wow. I looked at this on the other computer after the challenge started and was like "oh. crap. that sucks." :-P Yeah..apparantly this monitor needs to be calibrated, as it looked perfectly fine here. Aw, well. Thanks for the votes and comments everyone.

The eyes are such a give-a-way ;-)

Anyway, the composition, lighting, and contrast are all very nice, as well as the use of the green in the shirt and the tie into the color of eye shadow. The focus on the face seems to me a bit soft, but at the same time not so bad.

Is that panties on her face? lol What's up with the fizz coming off of her right arm? I would have liked the image to be cleaner.

Great shot! Only thing that bothers me is the green eye shadow. It makes her look ill.

stunning.
a little brightening near her right hand would increase the quality even more imo.

Fantastic photo spoiled by the lace in my opinion. Colors are superb, especially in the hair and the eyes. Composition is very good.

Very cool! Great color. A tad sharper might have helped, and it seems just the faintest bit grainy. The edges of her arms also seem to have strange lighting and contrast issues, but still I really like this one. -6
