Man some people just have to give ya some shitty critiques dont they?

Love the gray tone on the skin. Do you have a formula for achieving this in PS? or is it just trial and error? It looks a bout 13% - 18% gray and quite a level tonal range.

Cheers

Tim

I would have rated this photo an 8 or a 9 if it weren't for the desaturation of everything but green. It's a good use of the technique, but I don't like it at all, which is what resulted in the low aesthetics score. This is a personal preference, however.

Good desat work....beautiful clarity.

Validated? I wonder why it would have been challenged. Is that a real four-leaf clover preserved in glass? Cool. Nice crisp image. Even the chain is sharpened just rght.

Nice use of colour on monochrome.

Good picture, though how did you keep the clover green with basic editing? I see your picture has been validated - really interested to know how you did this. Well done.

The mole is a lil distracting...
06/29/2006 10:33:26 PM
gorgeous shot. great use of selective desat. hope this does well!!
06/29/2006 07:11:53 PM
cool idea. i like the softness of the skin and the composition. this definietly would not be as powerful without the selective desat. great joB! 7

Very nice piece of jewelry and good picture. However i think desat is not authorized for basic editing. Too bad... 6

nice clarity, but I am not sure your selective desaturation is in the rules...
06/29/2006 02:24:48 AM
Gorgeous on the medallion.
06/28/2006 10:18:45 PM
very well done!
06/28/2006 06:16:49 PM
quite a fine pendant, and a nice shot as well.
06/28/2006 04:33:11 PM
I really like the use of desaturation in this shot. :) The only thing I possibly would have done different is to lighten and saturate the green clover to help it "pop" a little more.
06/28/2006 02:35:19 PM
Nice idea, pretty pendant. The photo feels a bit flat, it could do with a bit more "oooompf" (contrast etc). 7
06/28/2006 01:56:25 PM
Very nice, simple picture.
I really like the necklace too. It's pretty
06/28/2006 12:19:22 PM
Pretty image. nice tones and highlights are not blown out.
06/28/2006 11:35:13 AM
Very cool photo ;) 8

This photo is beautifully done. 9

Sorry but the mole is incredibly distracting. This should have been shot from her left to minimize it.
