from last week - so my belated effort?

Playing with my new stuff - 20D, Tamron 28-75 and an AB800.

Nice profile but the shirt is Distracting. I'd consider burning it in and getting rid of the wrinkles.... Just a thought. I like the idea and your approach. She has nice lines.

I didn't notice at first, but I agree with Charles. The shot would work better without the shirt. I like it though. Well done.

BTW, when you tell your wife Charles said to remove the wrinkles, make sure you clarify that he was talking about the shirt. ;)

Yes, yes, yes. Good catch buddy!

The girl is lovely. Quite lovely in fact.

She could go topless next time. That would resolve the shirt issue.

Or, just burn it in and clone out the wrinkles IN THE SHIRT!!! There, that's better!

psasciola - I wouldn't worry about charles - imagine her reaction when I tell you suggest "removing the shirt"... ;-)

I think I'm going to have to have her do it again - topless (darn the bad luck!) - because I'm having little success burning and cloning *and* getting it to look correct. Maybe photoshop is mad at me?

Not that I'm opposed to you posting a topless picture, but I took the liberty of rubber stamping out some of the wrinkles on the edge of the shirt. I hope you don't mind. Rubber stamp is a very useful tool for cloning things out. I haven't mastered using the burn tool yet, but I've seen others use it.

Charles, I think we all knew what you meant, but it just struck me as funny to read "burning it and getting rid of the wrinkles" which could be taken as "burn the photo and get some Botox", which this beautiful woman obviously does not need. :D

Much better than anything I accomplished. My wife sometimes has bad hair days, I have bad photoshop days.

And btw, she will be very flattered.

Much closer. Set the burn tool for 20% and shadows. Do a magic wand select of the shoulder. Feather 2 pixels. One or two gentle brushes across the shoulder should do it.

Better yet, I vote for the topless redo. I'm a lover of fine-art.
