You either have a WB/levels problem or you lightened the shadows way too much in #2. Hair and lip color are completely different in the 2 images. 5D, Drebel, EOS-3, K1000

It looks like the eye is a little out of focus. If possible, you probably want to focus on the closer eye. It looks to be back focused, but perhaps there was some movement/camera shake. What shutter speed did you take it at? Anyway, I really like the lighting and all. You might could tweak the curves a bit in PS.

Sep 23, 2006 11:33 | #8 I did paint the lipstick on in the second one, also tried some highlight adjustments to see what they would do. As for playing with curves I haven't tried that yet. Very new to using photoshop. First one shutter speed was1/40 at F5.6 ISO 100. Canon 30D & 350D, 430 speedlight

Here is the second one with no extra PP. Better or worse?  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Canon 30D & 350D, 430 speedlight

jaymrobinson Senior Member 718 posts Joined May 2006 Location: Japan, Present Day More info | Sep 23, 2006 11:51 | #10 Yeah, it looks like you might have overused the shadow/highlight feature, which tends to throw skin tones out of whack. It definitely looks better without the extra PP. The 1/40 shutter speed on the first shot would probably be what is causing the lack of sharpness. Bump up the ISO to 200 or 400 so you can get some faster shutter speeds.

As another poster said, the WB is slightly off. With the light from that angle I would use a white or soft gold reflector to bring some light to her face. Then you would not have to PP the highlights. I have some examples I can post when I get home from work if want to see the results from reflectors. They are cheap (if you don't already have one) and fun to work with. "If you're not living on the edge. You're taking up too much room !"
