C&C - My fourth edit.

Some C&C would be lovely for this one .

I am finding the more heavily edited work pretty difficult but enjoying this.

Orginal (if you see anything youd keep or whatever):

Felt a little cold so warmed it a bit:

Looked soft on second thoughts:

Open your last edit in the raw editor and using the white balance eyedropper, click on the upper right of the background. Does that look any better to you? As your image is now, it still looks too cool...and has a green cast to it on my monitor.

Try clicking on the background with the eyedropper in several places and you'll see several different variations of white balance.

You might also select the background and desaturate it to make it go grey and then darken it a little. That will help make your subject stand out a bit more too.

I wanted to add that your lighting is much better in this set.

Thanks. I quite like the blue/green. Did my WB using levels in CS6. It is pretty accurate to his actual skin tone (he has quite a grey sort of tinge to his actual skin).

Noticed what my lighting mistake was on my first image in the other post...the set was in essentially a white/cream room so when I took the shot, the background bleaching speed-light was spilling and reflecting all over making the contrast very dull and the image flat.

Live and learn I guess.

Gene's edit looks good to me, but why would you frame the shot that way?
