Hi, I did retouch for my port and can't decide, what color variant is better, can you help me?Thanks Jul 18 14 01:32 pm Link To me, the second one has a more appealing skin color. Her eyes are gorgeous and her finger nails are so wonderful! Jul 18 14 01:35 pm Link #1 looks more like something you'd see in a magazine, beautiful and dreamy, plus the golden tones make it feel luxurious. I really like it. #2 is more "real". The skin/tones are more realistic. I prefer the feel of #1, but I think both of them have value. Just depends on what you plan to use them for. If you're just using them for your port, I'd go with #2, for magazine submissions #1. Nice work on both! I wish the nails could be retouched a bit so it wasn't obvious that they're stick-ons. That's the only small flaw I see. Jul 18 14 04:05 pm Link Second. The greenish doesn't bother me when the photos looks like it could be aged. But too much in this photo speaks modern to me, which is why I think second is lovely and works Jul 18 14 04:22 pm Link For me the first. But they're both great. Jul 18 14 04:44 pm Link I'll vote for #2. -Don Jul 18 14 04:49 pm Link MelissaAnn wrote: I'm showing my ignorance here: are stick-on nails different in kind and effect than eye liner, brow pencil, etc? Jul 18 14 06:14 pm Link I have to go with #2.

Much like false eyelashes, when they're applied poorly, you can easily see where the real ones end and the fake ones begin. When applied correctly, that isn't the case.

Jul 26 14 06:22 pm Link Photo number 2 please Jul 27 14 04:05 pm Link I like 2. One seems flat to me because the colors are all too similar in tonal balance and I think that makes it dull. Jul 27 14 04:13 pm Link the first pic is too Cyan and cold and the contrast is muddy.. the second is a good edit,, clear sharp and interest, be a good picture for display in the studio hall to promote business for older lady glamor shots Jul 27 14 06:57 pm Link As with the majority so far, I prefer the second, at least in a vacuum. If there were a specific reason to want the cooler tones of the first, then that would be the obvious choice. But with no guidance about the image's ultimate use, I would go with the more natural-looking second image. Jul 28 14 07:55 pm Link |
