  • Honey and George

    I tried a different processing and would be grateful for comments, thanks.

    Honey



    George

    The picture tells the story, great when you have a bad memory.DW.

    Re: Honey and George

    Of the two I definitely prefer the first. The lighting is softer although perhaps a little direct?? hence lighting up the nostrils. Great detail though but probably prefer the 2cd background or possibly a neutral alternative.

    Don't listen to me though as I prefer the opinions of others more qualified than myself

      Greg I am sure these are outside my comfort zone too.

      The softer lighting on the first shot leads to better detail and I prefer the feel of the shot.

        I too prefer the first. The second has a distracting background. BTW i've been out with worse looking women than Honey!

          The second looks as if it is a "scrapbooked" image

          I like the first but am very interested in what you did to achieve these and the "before" image too ? please David ?

            Cute looking dog and well taken now this may be just me but the post processing just does not do it for me as it just makes the dogs head appear to be floating in a void with nothing to anchor it. It would have been better to leave some of his lower body in the image.
            Regards Paul.
            One day I hope to be the person my dogs think I am.

              Have to agree, Paul, but this is one of those " it's wet and cold out, what shall I do? " things

                I think the first image is terrific. I know one should not humanise dogs but, the hair slightly covering the left eye, the mouth slightly parted just showing teeth. Was she a temperamental model?

                  She cordially hates the camera, I must have taken hundreds of shots to get this one, and this is one of about 20 this time

                    Full marks for trying something different and probably achieving what you had in mind.

                    To my personal taste I find the outcome too fussy and cutesy if that makes sense. However that is just my own take on it as I prefer a simpler view of things..

                    cheers

                    I've worked hard to be this grumpy. It hasn't been easy at times but it's worth it.

                      Our late Boxer hated the camera, whenever I got it out he used to give me a filthy look and walk out of the room. At the time I was using a Nikon. Hmmmmm I wonder if he was more intelligent than I realised?
