another picture of Xena, a different angle. This is the last one i will be posting of her, don't want to bore you all to death. Thanks David

My favourite, the pose, the lack of distractions, everything adds too the viewers feeling of the subject. Only small thing is the glare on her right eye, our left.

At first I felt her face is slightly blown, but on second though I don't think it is too much, I think it adds focus.

If you can tone down the glare on her right eye, this will be a great shot.

thanks Skip, toned the eye down abit, but kept a little catch light in

[skipper954]

Outstanding. These will make a good set.

Not keen on the eye though I admit the adjustment has made it considerably better. The problem for me is the heavy shadow between the natural fall of the hair and the eye itself. Because of it being mono, you have lost any disinction between where the hair falls and the eye starts as it is just plain black right through.

I wonder whether this would look interesting as a high key shot with very few tones.

Cheers,
Rob

I don't know. This was just a quick levels pimp, could be manipulated more, but Rob, maybe, maybe not.

Tell me what you think of hi key.

I think it has potential, perhaps dumbed down just a bit with perhaps two further intermediate shades but I like the effect it is giving. The missing nose is a bit distracting but that isn't an issue here, you were aiming to see what the high key effect would be like and I think it would work with this shot.

Cheers Skip,
Rob
