Me in My Bathroom

[Shutter22]

I believe I have finally found a great way of processing skin without loosing skin texture. Here I have the final image[self portrait in my bathroom, unfortunately] and a 100% view of some skin detail.









Thoughts? Critique on the picture itself? It's a little rough, I know, but it was a first attempt and a shoddy location.

Amazing job!

Skin tone seems a bit off on your cheek, but other than that, the skin looks great!

Thank you! That's a shadow. I knew it looked odd, but I was too focused on the rest of my face to fix it. Haha.

Not to be critical but the skin color looks very blotchy.

[ZSutton]

Well if we're being critical, it seems you didnt mask the edge of your shoulder. There is a dark ling outlining it that seems off.

As I said, it's rough. That comment was directed towards the shoulder[which actually had a line very similar but was enhanced in processing] and the unevenness.

My goal was texture, not perfection.

Edit: fixed shoulder, it bothered me a lot.
