Butterfly Dreams

I had a little bit of fun with my girlfriend the other day and had a mini photoshoot. This was all window light. C@C always welcome...does anyone think its to warm? It looks fine on my monitor but when I check it on other computers it looks VERY warm.

akward pose to look at. looks good temperature to me. I love the eye makeup... It clashes with her eye color, but cool nonetheless.

Composition is very top heavy, could be better. you are lucky to have a cutie to practice on.

thanks I appreciate ur honesty and does anyone think the PP was over done? as in does the skin look to fake?

Given that the subject of this pic is outrageous makeup, I think you have a lot of leeway before the skin looks too fake. It looks fine to me.

As to color temperature, it looks spot on with my calibrated LCD. Perhaps the other computers you're using to view it are not recognizing the image's color profile?

I agree with Mike about the composition... any other from this series?

I haven't had much time to work on them but here is another...

The color is outstanding in this one, and it's well focused too. If I were your subject, I would have mixed feelings about this shot. It makes her eyes stand out, but the distortion created by shooting so close and wide is unflattering to her facial features.

Maybe an extreme crop would help with that aspect, as well as with the framing that cut off her lower lip. What do you think of something like this?

I dunno, I tried that but it just looks weird to me
