hmmm... I love the use of the umbrella, as it gives a nice background motive, and the lines it makes out of your hear are cool aswell.

But.. no "Extreme Editing" and this picture could have benefit of it.

Good luck in the challenge.

This is kind of in the middle of my taste. We got here a female portrait, thats perfect!, the sepia tone, ok!, the narrow dof, hmm.. not quite my liking. But then we got very dark pupils, and there is a competition of attention between the eyes and her teeth, and "NO" it isnt because of the size but of the white and clean they are! It almost seem, you applied a layer with the sepia, and masked or deleted over her teeth. (compare it with the white on her eyes! the teeth are whiter!)

Good luck in the challenge.

Nice photo and model! I miss some more focus on her eyes, and less on her hand.

Cant see any "Expert Editing", or even any editing at all though.


Good luck with the challenge.

I've been trying to analyze this photo for a while, and dont come to any thing but the eyebrows.. dont know, but they seem to dark, when the hair is colored blonde, and everything is nice and light colors. The hand we see better, is kind of strange a little bit.

Overall this is a good photo!.. but maybe not completly in line with the "Expert Editing", or am I missing something?


Good luck in the challenge.

This is a very natural portrait, that could score higher if that was the challenge theme. But this challenge was about "Expert Editing", and I cant say I see it here. (maybe some cloning on face?, but thats not "Expert", is it?)

As a portrait, I would have tried not to get those picture frames in the actual photo framing.


Good luck in the challenge

Have a Bite

This could be a much better image! the idea is cool, the framing is cool! the props (jacket/coat, hat, sunglasses, apple, and even the background) are perfect.

But.. still it doesn't get my total liking! :( I believe its a bit to much edited.. it seems the best focused part is the reflection of the apple in the sunglasses and the background (there is something strange!, looks like the apple is on a table, and not in your hands.. in the reflection).

pd. the model is imported to the background right? I wouldnt do this when she's wearing a furry coat!, cause it would get almost impossible to get a good job done.

Good luck in the challenge!

She wears the "hat" in the family

Lovely baby, and cool hat/sombrero ;)

Would liked a bit more light at her? face, instead of being the background the lighter area of the photo.

But.. where is the editing in this one?

Good luck in the challenge.

This portrait is kind of nice.. I like it. If it werent for the growcery and the vacuum/dust cleaner your life would be better! ;)

a background could be added, but its nice white also.

pd. its hard in this challenge, the "kind" of "Expert Editing" is so different and vast, that they are good images vs. good images, and its difficult to vote correctly.

Good luck in the challenge.

Belly Dancer on the floor...

Nice colors, and exotic model. But my eyes goes to all the bling bling on her top. Kind of annoying me, cause I dont like that! :P

I miss her eyes are so dark (are her pupils black?) I hope this picture is part of a bigger session!, would love to see other poses, and framing.

Good luck in the challenge

The Female Athlete
by acoppola

Comment:
hmm.. this is quite different of the rest. Love the surroundings! but as a portrait I would like to see her face better. Right now is the stone she's on that draws my attention to it. and when I watch at her, are the tan of the legs, and muscles/size of her thighs <-- dont get me wrong! I like them in a posiive and sportly way.

The flexing doesnt look to strong, and the face is the last thing I see in the picture :(

but, is she a bicycle rider, yes?

pd. clean your sensor! ;) that dust mole in the right of the photo, wasnt on my monitor! (hehe.. I checked!) :P
