More info | Mar 22, 2011 16:18 | #5 The one shot is very greatly overexposed. If you shot it as a jpeg, there's not a lot you can do with it. It looks like you tried to fix it in post processing in the second. However, you still have no detail in the highlights, there's an overall green cast to the image, and it's far too oversaturated to please most people. You would also want to get a shot with the subject face up a little as there is little to draw in the viewer at the angle that you have. Joe

Shot it in RAW, PP in lightroom 3.3 and CS5. Highlights have been blown out in PP, saturation is also done by me. No luck in controlling the subject as I shot this without the subject noticing.

Mar 22, 2011 16:53 | #8 Hey floyd! I adjusted wb, got a nice temparature leaning towards the cooler side and gave it a slightly blue tint. Bumped the contrast and saturation up quite a bit and got this. Was aiming for the polaroid/60's kinda photo.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Mar 22, 2011 16:58 | #10 xpfloyd wrote in post #12071615 Very nice! In LR3 I end up only ever using the exposure, fill, blacks, sharpness etc and dont ever touch the saturation/Hue section. Really need to start playing around with those bits more to see what they do. Thanks for the info Do that! Really is no way one can fail, you can always backstep if you do not like the results. Forgot to mention that I added an unsharp mask in CS5. Or you could just sharpen it in Lightroom. Lots of old stuff but hey I am a student

Mar 22, 2011 22:23 | #12 Im not digging the green. The original is the best. Also if you hadn't mentioned what that blob on the left was I would have never known what it was, best to just get rid of it. It's kind of unfortunate, I like the framing of the child. Having to crop out the woman ruins the photo for me. But you seem to have a good eye for composition and framing so keep on shooting!
