The Holy Grail of Retouch!!
*colour version for those interested* I feel like I've just found it!! Messing around on photoshop while editing one of my new shots I found a new technique, and the skin and everything just came together and I'm sooo pleased with the effect!!! I just wanted to come on here and show you and feel a little proud! Don't mind if other people don't like it, but I'm soo over the moon! As you can see the original image has a slight motion blur, not to everyones taste, but i quite like it. May 23 09 06:17 pm Link Not bad, I like it.

That's one of the things I so MUCH enjoy about photography....there are not a lot of hard and fast rules....there are many ways/techniques to get the job done...I LOVE fellow photogs that are PASSIONATE about our field and exploring new techniques! Again, congrats to you for finding "your" technique that works! Blessings of continued success to you my friend! May 23 09 06:38 pm Link Kind of hard to see any (tonal) detail in black and white.
