Alone at Last

I will submit original image below.

Above is the original before applying the High-Key white out technique.

I love it!! Another one with great textures in the hair and now in the ledge behind her as well as in the gathered clothing. Good choice!!

Here's another thought. As I compare the original to the high-key version, I realize that I really like that you left the diagonal line through the middle of the image. It absolutely completes the image.

Hello Howard, I love the way that this photo has an industrial to human quality. The way they blend with each other. Thanks for your comments on my photos as your opinion is held in high regard.

 

Good shot and work.

I like this.

Howard, you're going to have to write a program and sell your software as a Photoshop plug-in called, "Highkey Howard." Pre-ordering starts here. I'll take a small cut...^_^ BTW, I wonder if a slightly different negative space and softening of the diagonal line might be an aesthetic improvement? Still works well as is.

I like your suggestion and am going to make adjustments to the original. Thanks.

A great progrssion int the external textur. It isincredible how this technique cqn take anything ordinary and turn it into such a visual treat. Agree with Wilson, definately a plug - in worth having. I don't know if the arm lighting might be a little more structured or not used at all? I think the work with external composition is worth persuing.

Howard, it is realy hard to keep your pace....

Another nice portrait,I like the diagonal line, blured, Imo it has to be only as a clue, so it does not " cut" her head. Pnina

Made changes as recommended and resubmitted. Thanks for all the help and support.

Very complelling diagonal, not only of the line but of the position of the subject. The detail in her hair is phenominal and the diagonal created by the puckering of the back of her shirt, also adds depth. Sorry guys, but a plug in is just not possible. The selective burning and dodging is way to artist specific, what with each image being different. Maybe an Action, with step by step instructions would be more feasible. I think Howard would agree.

nice processing, really adds to the pictural content

Sign me up, Howard. I love this effect you're doing! It makes an average, ho-hum image into something very creative and artistic.

Thanks to everyone who made a comment. You support is appreciated.

Very impressive !
