 Neat image and some bg repair via healing brush.

Same umbrella, one light behind me, bounce flash at 45 degrees

Very cool shot. Really like the lighting and composition. Nice focus.

The colors sure to pop out at ya! That's good.

This being a portrait, it competes with a darker subject. Great soft focus, nice and smooth. And yes, NI can work miracles when you get used to it. I'm definitely no miracle worker. LOL.

I like the colorful props. Is the back light aimed toward your back or aimed at the backdrop? That brightness pulls my eye toward the light first. Only after that can I focus on the main subject (you).

Here's a tip you may or may not know - after applying NI (or any filter for that matter), immediately hit CTRL+SHIFT+F that will bring up the fade filter box and you can tweak down the opacity of the effect. You can also CTRL+Z (undo) and then set your history brush marker to the NI step in the history panel (one ahead of where you are when after undo) and then set the history brush to 30-50% and "paint" the NI effect in just the areas you want, going over it a couple times if necessary to get it back to the full NI effect in those areas. Conversely, you can NI, then set the history brush to one step before NI and "unpaint" the NI effect in areas you want to remove some. The history brush is your friend. :) Hope this helps.


This helps a LOT!! I didn't know any of that.... HOWEVER, I did just write it down :D LOLOL THANK YOU ART!!
