Definitely prefer the second one without the processing. :) Far stronger shot!

Mary, i hate to tell you but there is no easy answer for getting rid of those shadows. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them too. Basically, you either clone or paint the areas- a painstaking task. Or erase the background altogether which then leaves you with the dilemma of placing them convincingly in a new one. I am not familiar with what elements has or hasn’t but you can try this link for a few tips: http://www.sitepoint.com/masking-techniques-photoshop/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

i like the processing, maybe a touch darker as mentioned but i do like the vintage feel to it.

fun! a little bit pink in the eyes and skin (it could be my screen) but well executed otherwise!

Thank you! That was a bonus I hadn’t noticed til I got them up at home!

thank you!

this was actually my fave from the set although i’m not big on doing the angles (and i did it very badly here as well), i like how it came out. cross processed in PS.

thanks, rob. that’s the sort of thing i like to hear because i was concentrating more on getting the technique right that the framing went totally out of my head. :) thanks!

what a hottie! oh, wait, i’m supposed to be commenting on the photography, right? i’m a bit rusty. uhm, nice choice of model. hehe. i love how it’s well lit and eyes, yum. it’s so sharp the stray hairs in front of his eyes are distracting to start but its just one of those things.

i like the second one, the smile makes it. from a consumer’s point of view, if i was a mum/grannny/auntie looking for a photographer to shoot my child, the first one might make me think that you take yourself too seriously whereas the second one does give the relaxed vibe. But that’s presuming you take relaxed, natural, laid back type of photos. does that make ANY sense?

great expression! i love the graininess, it really suits. agree with it being too centered (my own taste). and i like the direct eye contact and the contrast of her lip partially covered by the scarf.
