Angel I

Used a gold reflector, I'm thinking it made a big difference, in the

eyes. Thanks in advance for any critiques or comments.

The reflector makes a big impact on the eyes. They're quite strong. I like the backlighting of his hair as well.

It's a beautiful picture, but your Photoshop shows a bit. With eyes like that, it OK to have some zits and teenage mustache. This is my favorite of the series. The warm tones are nice.

yes the skin was retouched th eyes were not they were how ever intensified by a gold reflector I used but not photoshop on the eyes at all .

Thanks sooo much for your comments and critiques and observation. :)

Great job on your photo, but I agree about photoshopping it a little too much on his skin. And the grey pole in the background is a little distracting, but your lighting on your model is great. Nice job!

May I suggest a way to get a more natural effect? - From the original create a duplicate layer, apply a similar or even more drastic selective blur to the top layer; then adjust the opacity to whatever looks right, usually about 50%.

 

It's a nice series and a very photogenic subject.

 

Best wishes, Jonathan
