49 Nov 17 Reply I agree with you about the shadow on the face, but since this image was processed for a competition about hats, I did not want the face to compete with or draw the eye away from the hat. Otherwise, I would have dodged the face area a little, or perhaps burn in the highlights on the chin to even out the exposure on the face. I also think I would de-saturate the yellow cast on her shoulder. Nov 22nd
49 Nov 17 Comment Well done. I wouldn't change a thing. I especially like the detail in the reflections. Nov 11th
49 Nov 17 Comment Nice composition and the sepia tone suits the subject matter well. I like the white vignette except for its effect on the top of the building. Perhaps doing the vignette manually with the dodge/burn tool or choosing an oval shape that would have less effect on the top center of the image might help. Nov 11th
49 Nov 17 Comment Great composition and very sharp for a hand-held image. I might try Nik Detail Extractor or Topaz Detail to bring out more detail in the feathers. Nov 11th
49 Nov 17 Comment Great subject. On my monitor, the brim of the hat seems to be a bit blown out. I don't use Aperture so I don't know what it is capable of doing. With Photoshop, I would try making a selection of the hat and reducing it's exposure. I would also burn in the other people in the background, especially the woman on the far right, The highlights on her face draw the eye away from the subject. Nov 11th
49 Nov 17 Comment I agree with your personal assessment about the background. An easy fix would be to reduce the exposure a bit then make a selection of the sheep and using layer mask in Photoshop, increase the exposure back on just the sheep. See example. Nov 11th
