Any Suggestions?

[Dick Rogers]

Shot this as part of a senior session. Any suggestions?

[Connie Studebaker]

Other than I find the white top under her jacket a bit distracting... it's great! That kind of image sells like hotcakes! Nice!!!

[Fred Molesworth]

Richard, I like it just as it is. I do a lot of the "non-smiling" look, and in fact notices that all the senior wall portraits I have in my living room/presentation area are non smiling.

Maybe a teeny bit more light in the eyes from a reflector under the face just to open up that area under her eyes, but even without that I like it.

[Gary Leif]

How about putting a soft effect, using Gausian Blur and then errasing the eyes and other sharper points...

[Dick Rogers]

Thanks for the input. I'm going to give your suggestions a try.

[Rick Goncher]

Hey, Dick, before you go and do that....you need to look for Kirk's "Move" and put that on there....personally I don't think the shirt is too distracting....it balances out that big white area over her head.....and I just keep going back to those eyes!!!!

Nicely done from a design standpoint.....

If the sky bothers you that much and you just want to try something.....put in some clouds......still have some white to balance the shirt and yet it will look realistic.....

Really, Great image!

[Shelley Allen]

yes i agree--that move action is awesome--rick--it is so cool--

Jeff, nice touch. Keep overstepping, that's how we all get ideas.

[Bill Armstrong]

Richard, I was about to suggest rotating the image slightly and, whaddya know, somebody up and done did it! I really like the direct expression that draws you right into the eyes. I'm not real keen on the blue eyes (a very unnatural shade IMHO) but a very subtle enhancement of the eyes in Photo Shop would really add some impact.

Back to the post, we offer the B&W with something (like eyes) colored for and extra $10 Kids love it. We call it "spot Color" (Original I know...LOL)

[Dick Rogers]

She really had brown eyes, but the point is we are taking suggestions. Duhhh! Perhaps something good will come of it.

[Bill Armstrong]

Llew, dude! Yeah, I'm still around, just been busy. I'm just glad that there's twenty-seven hours in a day, otherwise I'd never get caught up!
Hey, Llew, are you gonna play golf at SPI? If you are, have you signed up yet?
