portrait on my niece

shot with a 580ex, 420ex and 35 1.4

really wish I would have taken the time to iron the sheet or put some paper up, but oh well... maybe I can photoshop it out

I like the lighting on this! I'm not sure about the feet and the wrinkled ground, it might look cool with a close crop from about halfway up the forearm to the top of the head.

Like this burntbizzkit?

I think I like the full frame shot better :o Thanks for humoring me :D

That's a nice shot. Love the eye contact and expression. I agree ironing out the backdrop in PS would give the shot more impact. I would crop mid thigh. Great job!

is this better?

i agree with the ironing.. she certainly makes a great model! shes got the seriousness to her face. nice shot!

Thanks Livinthalife! she is a great model, but unfortunately she doesn't like getting her picture taken:) I tried to iron out the background in the last edit, does that look better?

[chrishunt]

I like your last edit. The crop and the background look nice.

Here's my quick attempt.

Used a mask layer to adjust the contrast to blast the background out, use the clone tool a little to remove some of the larger creases.

Needs more work on the feet, but a little hard to be accurate with the low quality version.
