; )

Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today

good shot.. some minor correction to bring it further ; )

just a quick red line and circle to put special attention..

the image and color look good, the skin just look too soft.. maybe reduce this *effect* a bit or had a bit more sharpen and skin texture and your good to go ; )

hope you dont mind, i took the liberty of marking some area that could need some enhancement to make this image even more perfect ; )

Alcatraz Island is an island located in the San Francisco Bay,

1.5 miles (2.4 km) offshore from San Francisco, California. Often

referred to as The Rock, the small island early-on served as a

lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison, and a Federal

Bureau of Prisons federal prison until 1963. Later, in 1972, Alcatraz

became a national recreation area and received landmarking

designations in 1976 and 1986.

The town of Real de Catorce is located in the heart of the Catorce

mountain range, in the state of San Luis Potosi, on the north of

Mexico. It is 2,750 meters above sea level and the main access route

is through a tunnel 2,300 meters long. Founded in the year of 1779 due

to the discovery of rich silver mines, which led a crowd of miners and

adventurers to arrive in search of fortune, unleashing a real silver

fever amid very unfavorable conditions.

its like saying, put this image in color ; )

the point of using a holga / lens baby / or other camera like this is to get the whole package, in this case, the iphone hipstamatic app create this look out of the box.. i like it enough to make a serie of image ; )

Quick retouching note for a even perfect image...

1_watch out for the veins on her arm (could be the lowrez)

2_remove distracting element

3_soften some shadow of her bones structure

The model look gourgeous, good light.. retouching look fine, but with those small detail you could add a better finishing ; )

Hi Neil,

Im a retoucher specialized in beauty/portrait/cosmetic so some of those quick comment migth help you i hope : )

1_had some highlight in her eye with let say the dodge tool set to hightligth and just use it on the bottom of the pupil.

2_remove the green fringing on her hair..look strange.

3_i would pinch here nose a bit, seem a bit too big

4_i would get (her real) left eye a bit bigger

5_tone down the arms highlight

6_fix her lips, i mean continue the colro on both side

7_remove some of the little hair flying around in her neck, the closest one of the chin for example.

8_and lastly maybe add a bit of contrast on her eyelids to pop the makup a bit.

Very good looking, but i would have change the composition to put the girl to the rigth side, and the herb on the other side; her crop leg going nowhere is a bit strang. just a suggestion : )

It is a beautiful portrait, but this dragan effect is so overuse that i didtn find anything cool anymore about it. Nothing to do with HDR (as one said before).

Still a nice portrait well capture.

beautifull image. but dont confuse *razor sharp* with *oversharp* i think it could benefit the shot to reduce the artificial sharpness that been add, just a bit. It could be just the small file also? still bravo : )

Hi Per,

its a nice portrait, but here is some tip i can give you as a photoretoucher;

1_The eye is oversharp and therefore look too much artificial, same for the hairs.

It look almost jaggy because of the oversharpness.

2_Sopme part of her skin is sharp, and i can see clearly that some part are smooth, almost blotchy (around her lips, her nose, and just aside, around the eyes)

3_Also there is many dark spot all over the place; on her chin, just beside her rigth nostril, just beside her nose, and some on her forehead.

4_Her lips could use some crack repair (minor) and if you want to push it for a ad, they will need to be more even, well balance; her rigth side half top lip look higher and pump up compae to her left side.

5_I would also add a bit mor of eyebrow to continue just a bit the line already define.

Voila, i think its all constructive remark that should help you bring this portrait a bit further.
