steve_lowther 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Brad, you have a lot of good elements here. I think there are a few things you can do to give the image more "kick". One is to brighten up all the blocked areas of his eyes. He has the classical "raccoon eyes" of an overhead light source. In brightening his eyes, I lightened both the catch lights and his scleras. I did a little on hers, too. I also went over the highlights on their skin, mostly on cheeks and foreheads. I also did her teeth. I then vignetted the image using the Elliptical Marquee Selection tool feathered at 60 pixels. I drew the oval and selected the inverse, darkening the outside of the oval with the Brightness/Contrast control. If you don't find my suggestions helpful, just email me and I will be glad to delete them. Link to comment
