Mother

Any coments or ratings are welcome. Thank you.

"That" is the look of a mom! I wish you had another one with her looking at us (or, you!). Is she pleased?

Beautiful portrait. Very well done.

Very well done. Beautiful picture of this pretty lady. Best regards.

Beautiful portrait, Joaquim. Congrats. Thanks for ratting one of my last posting. Abrazos, Chico do Vale.

Very beautiful portrait of your pretty mother.

She looks so intelligent.

God bless you.

I am trying to understand. Is it a split tone feature in photoshop that gives you this affect? If so I think I do not have in the elements version.

It's a set of pre-recorded actions for Photoshop, sold by a (I presume) a small companie called 1-click actions. They have several toning and splitone actions, that I use a lot. This one is a splitone for Warm tones in the shadows, Cold tones in the Highlights. I am not sure if actions work on Elements. Regards.

I looks like sepia tone which I have occasionally used in the dark room.

Wow- this is a beautiful portrait! I think these portraits - those of our families, become some of the most important images that we can make, and when they are done to this standard one can be assured that they will remain important long after we are gone. This particular image reminds me of the old masters paintings, both for the quality of light within the image as well as for the capturing of the character of the sitter. The tones are gorgeous, and I love the downward tilt of her head with the upward glance of her eyes- a most wonderful portrait, and one that I am sure she and your family will treasure forever. 7/7 does not do it justice!
