Wanderer Jane

I cropped the top off the image as many people had suggested so the

tree no longer makes her look like she has some weird headdress. (She

kind of thinks she looks weird to begin with, but we won't go into

her false sense of insecurity because I like my mommy)

 

Rate/critique this image and let me know what you think!

Hi Laura,

I really like this version and I also liked your previous version.

 

I see some digital noise in the models upper eye area. I am not sure how it got there but assume that it might have been produced from sharpening her eye in photoshop. If that is the case, I suggest you to use photoshop's layer to sharpen the eye, by using this method you can erase the unwanted information and it could solve this issue.

Thanks for pointing it out Ringo...I was wondering how noisy the eye really was, because I intentionally softened the face and had ignored the eye. I should definitely correct that. Thanks!

OK I uploaded the new one. :D

I like the idea of this image very much ........................ Two other versions which may or may not be improvements would be to have the face in focus as well as the background - The selective focus shown here was intentional on your part I believe but I'm curious how it might compare if it was all in focus ..................... And maybe to have her eyes shifted towards the viewer .................. These are just thoughts that come to mind ........ Not necessarily better ......................... Very interesting perspective as is .

Well she's willing to do it Ken :) I'll give it a try sometime soon. :)

Strange I thought I'd played with the cropping with this shot before...It's my old age I guess...The Shot: Great Shot, Superb tones but being the cropper I am I'd lop off almost all of the black along the left...say 10 percent of the picture. I think that the heaviness of the black overpowers the fantastic, surreal background. Check it out and see if you agree...well done as is though...jim

Very cool shot. Terrific idea well realized... Sarah
