2 More Of My Better Half

[am_pitbull_terrier]

I was playing around with these. What do you think. Too much? I like them like this. I know there is 3 and the title says 2. I decided to add one more.

This is the same photo cropped and changed a bit.

WOW! She's a BEAUTIFUL Lady. ;)
The first two are Great, but the third is a bit dark for my taste. Nice work. :D

Better half is right, especially if you look like your avatar ;-) tehetehe
She is beautiful. There seems to be quite a bit of noise. Could be my monitor or the required compression to post. Just discovered Neat Image, have you tried anything like that?

Nice to see your beautiful wife again. :)

The first two are nice. I prefer the non-cropped version. The fingers in the waist of the lowrise jeans showcases her attractive physique and to me, has a little more attitude; for lack of a better word.

Would you consider that you applied alot of post-processing? or just a little? The reason I ask is this: Given your wife's obvious physical attributes, a very little amount of post processing can go a long way. For the most part, her beauty can stand on it own. I'm just saying...

The third, I agree with Ballen, is too dark. Then again, whether it appeals to you is what matters.

Cheers :)

A lot. I was just playing around and was trying out different things. I just liked the effects.

I'm trying to post the originals, but Image shack is not letting me post right now. :/

Here are the originals.

I like the originals as well. Especially the FIRST of these two. She's a "CUTIE!" :D

I too like the originals. Perhaps somewhere in between. Just too much noise on her skin on the first two and the second is too dark. Face it, it is hard to improve on perfection. If you want to fool around with PS do it to the backround or find a model that needs help ;-)

My colors always seem off. I dont know what i'm doing wrong. But thats why I usually end up playing around with the images.

It's definately ME not her :)

Thanks Bruce

Very pretty wife you have there, but on my monitor the forst two looked like the whites were blown out and the 3rd was too dark. I see the originals are fine though so give it another shot and watch those levels.

Anymore shots of the tattoo?

Thats kinda how I wanted them to look, but I quess it only worked for me. LOL :lol:

I think so, I check. If not I know the model so I think I could get one.

[ayotnoms]

The originals are very good. She's a natural for the lens IMO.

Do you shoot RAW? I'm wondering whether that might help you solve the color worries. Have her hold a 18% Gray card, take a shot then take the others without it. Of course monitor calibration might also be a contributing factor. I got to tell you however, the skin tones and other colors look fine on my Macintosh screen.

Cheers :-)

She does do well in front of the camera. They always look red to me(someimes green too though). Maybe it is my monitor. I went to get a gray card the other day and they were out. I thought about that too. I've thought about shooting RAW but I'm not sure how to work with them.
