She's pretty. Hope the date went well ;)

[Vetteography]

Just out of curiosity, why did you decide to go with the faded look when processing those?

[ayotnoms]

She has a pleasant looking face. Glad to know the date went well.
Curious: Did she know you were going to post her picture on the internet?

Yes, She liked these shots when i first showed her. I asked her if i can share these with others and she said YES.

It was my first time working with RAW files. I bought camera 2 weeks ago and my photoshop skills are very weak. I tried to achieve the look i like the most.

So did you get any? Prints... Did you get any prints? Nice pics. She has lots of guts to let you take pics on a first date.

Was that a Nikon that she had?!?!?!?! Great photos by the way. :) When I met my current girlfriend, she wouldn't let me take pics. actually, she wont let me take pics now!! She tells me all the time 'you'll take your last breath if I ever hear the shutter click while it's pointed at me'... hahaha so i have to cough or something when I push the release. How did the date go?

My FIRST reaction was; "You took WHAT?" Then I noticed She brought a camera too, so I take it photography is a common interest? And the Date went well?
WAY TO GO MAX! :D Does this mean there will be a SECOND Date? ;)

Dante.... The man after my own heart... LOL I like a guy who says what I am thinking LOL

Nice shots I may try this dating with the cam thing! Just tell em I work for playboy and if their interested in doing a photoshoot, also advising them that I can't do pics with clothes on...No experience LOL

[freddycr]

Soulmates , huh ?...congrats...way to go !!
I like your selective desat.

[Claire]

Hm, I've never taken a camera along on a date. That could be quite interesting...

I've taken pics of guys I wished I had a date with...lol

I know you are trying to be a bit artistic with the post processing. But I am shocked that no one else picked this up. She's green. Almost like puke green. If I was the chick, I would be a little disconcern about the green cast.

Suggestions. When you do post processing art work with people, try warmer tones or white tones. Last thing you want to tell the viewer is that she was cool, but she was puke green. :(

[Carzee]

I hope you showed some interest in her N camera and passed comments on her pix - presumably she showed you some of her stuff.
I can see you in a romantic cafe in the small hours, quietly discussing megapixels. I hope it works out.

You have the 20D ! You have a date with that pretty girl !
Well, you have to lose some nights to have at list basic photoshop skills.
Like mbze430 said, the picture is green. And as I said she is a quite pretty girl. And is a pity to show her green ;):)

[sn4il]

Well... I got 20D for 3 weeks :) My photoshop skills are close to zero. Personaly i like B&W much better. She loves these green shots as well and its not just her.
Do You like original shot better??

I like the color pic but would have preferred light from the side.
She look like a Riverdale gal.

[mbze430]

the original is good. if you do plan on doing it black & white. Make sure it doesn't tint her green. Keep trying. Practice makes perfect.
