people Beware The File

Subject is too red, underexposed, (and she has a file in her mouth). Keep her away from sharp objects, please. Anyway, a few tweaks and some lightening of the whites of her eyes and teeth make the portrait look much nicer--except for the file. I could remove it, but why bother? Apparently she wants it there.

Lamar, thanks for the critique,

actually the file is about 20cm away from the mouth, it is somewhat blurred, since it is a little shorter of the DoF, maybe I should blur it more.

Obviously my monitor is way too bright - this is the third comment I get about dark or underexposed photoes (this one particularly I darkened a little).

I will try converting it again, using another monitor.

Best Regards!

Peter
