Untitled

This was composed with two exposures on the same shoot. I exposed for

the subject and then the sky. I composed the two together in PS for

this final image. I wanted the image to look as it did to my eye so I

had to replace the blown out sky in the first exposure with the

properly exposed sky in the second one. I was shooting fuji supria ASA

400 so there is a lot of grain but I think it adds to the mood of the

image. Let me know what you think, please.

Well done!

I agree, this is very well done, I love the grain in the image as it adds to the mood. Great pose and excellent image.

Excellent image and a great capture of the mood of the boy. 6/6

 

To my eyes the skin tones are a little off. I would suggest trying to get the color corrected using curves and the middle dropper. I attached an example with changed colors.

Colors changed slightly in "curves".

I acknowledge though that it is very tricky to get skin colors looking natural.

very well done ! my best regards ! 7/7

I agree with the skin tones being off. PS often tends to blueness, especially when there's lots of sky. I like the reposting above, but would even go to B/W

Thanks everyone. I did do a B/W one too and it does look great. I will work on the skin tones for a print.

This is a great composition.

I was curious what it would look like with less blue and a more natural skin tone and played around with it a bit.

I don't know if it is better or worse - just a slightly different take on a great shot.

Congrats.

wonderful portrait!
