Liora in a pink bandana

Comments, suggestions and ratings are welcome. Thanks for looking

To me the most important element of this image is her eyes. Considering that, I brightened up her scleras and catch lights, and vignetted the image.

 

The vignetting was done with the Elliptical Marquee Selection tool feathered at 60 pixels, selecting an oval around her face. Then I selected the inverse and darkened the outside of the oval with the Brightness/Contrast tool.

Too cute. I get a lot of grief about whether to frame a picture or not. I personally like framing, but that's the artist call. I think this photo works either way. Beautiful capture nice shot! She is adorable! <>< Sonny <>

SteveI appreciate the comment and the suggestions. That is one of the main reasons I like PN. I think the little work that you have done here does make it a better image. Thanks

 

Sonny I also grapple with frame or no frame. If you look at my portfolio it is split between the two. I think that now I am leaning more towards a simple frame like matting when placed in a picture frame on the wall. It seems to isolate the image from the web page. Thanks for the comments and compliments. I think she will be my top model as she grows up.

Precious... I think the enhancements added just the zing needed. I think the framing that works is the bandana and the natural curl of her hair, all framing this gorgeous face; the physical frame used is just dessert. Excellent portrait... Mike

 

 

Yes! Nice color and framing ~ well seen ~ Good adjustments, too ~

Michael and Mel, Thanks for the comments and thanks for looking.
