I'm sorry this did not do better.....it was one of my absolute favorites. I must vote different from others...on this challenge I realized that most of the " 10's" I gave out didn't make the top 20---neither do the photos I take!! Oh well....great photo!
This is a really nice shot. I had it pegged to do better than this.
My camera is really bad with CA where light colors are bumped against dark ones, such as those blue lines under his arms. What I do is select some of the discolored band, then click "Select Similar" a couple of times until all of the color I want to change is selected. Make sure no other parts of the photo are selected. Then copy and paste the selection into a new layer and add a hue adjustment layer that is grouped to it. Change the hue until it's in the same color band as his arms, then desaturate until the color almost blends in, then slide the light/dark bar left (dark) until the color blends in perfectly. PM me if you want more help. :-)
Thanks for all the comments, and they were all exactly on, this was definately over done, but I still love it! If nothing else, seems to have made a few smile!
superb capture! Absolutely adorable and great composition! Wow factor is way up there! Unfortunately, I find the use of neat image (or air brushing) wayyy too high on the skin. 8
Great leap, great expression, nearly great photo. Somehow there is insufficient clarity, maybe increasing contrast is all that is needed, but it appears that insufficient detail was captured. A 6.
