C&C welcomed.  *edit: added a Photobucket hosting in addition to the original POTN attachment for comparison. Still not sure that I worked out the "sharpness" bug. It's still way clearer on my original .psd file.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Looks good, but it could use a shadow under her chin to give it separation. You should also angle your light to give it some depth.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Nikon D810 Nikon 50F/1.4G - Nikon 70-200F/2.8II

It's actually fairly sharp but uploding to POTN leaves some to be desired. drdiesel1 wrote in post #11708264 Looks good, but it could use a shadow under her chin to give it separation.

Though I agree it could use a little more shadow under the chin etc. That's what I get for using a silver reflector. Nice use of short lighting on yours by the way!

Heres the 100% crop. Even this looks a little soft when uploaded. I really need to find a better uploading source  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

You can upload to there full file size and then just copy and paste the IMG code to your post here and they show up sharper then resizing and uploading directly through POTN. If you have any questions just ask here or pm me. Hope this helps. I just got my first pair of glasses that I didn't think I needed. I apologize to anybody in the past year that I said their pictures were out of focus lol.

If you have any questions just ask here or pm me. Hope this helps. I have one but haven't used it in months as I always had issues with image compression. I'll have to play with it and I'll keep you in mind if I have any hiccups. Thanks! Qbx wrote in post #11710653 I think if you resize your photo then sharpen it then upload to POTN things may be fine. The funny part is that I already did. Resized the image then applied an unsharp mask with a 1px radius at 4%. For some reason I always thought it was 800 x xxx and <150kb. Thanks for clarifying that.
