Ladies and Gentleman,

This is my Lovely girlfriend, Meena. Tonight we sat around and she let me snap a couple pictures of her. I have several frames in my room that hold my prize photographs. But these three are just too hard for me to decide between. Which one do you folks think I should frame. General comments, critiques and constructive criticism is welcomed.

1 2 or 3

Number two looks like shes being flattened in an avalanche! Number 3 similar and she looks a bit uncomfortable.
I'd go with number 1 but it would be better with a bit more life in the eyes (catchlight)

definately #1!

1st pix my fav!!

Number 1, but as Davis said you need some catchlights.

#1 for sure.

The white sheet (?) in the top-left corner of pic 2 just makes her look completely unnatural, plus there's a huge shadowy area between her head and left shoulder.

I just don't like the pose or composition on #3.

#1 because of the pose - but if I could have the pose from #1 and the composition from #3 I would go for that...

You're all wrong! Number 3 is OBVIOUSLY the best

i like #2 ... i think the skin is a little blotchy in #1 ... which might look unflattering when blown up.

#2 is nicer!! :)

I would like the eyes and skin tones in #2, the composition of #3 and the clarity of her face in #1. Can you combine them for us please?

(and seriously, I've had customers ask me to do that kind of thing to their pictures)

I took the liberty to give it a shot ... I hope you don't mind ... I used gaussian blur except around the mouth and eyes to make it softer and used the spot healing brush on a few small blemishes. What do you think?



Hrm ... I think I should have masked the eyebrows too ... live and learn.
