This. The eyes/skin look have been tweaked though. Otherwise they look good.

Eyes have been sharpened, dodged and saturated a bit if required.

The train line has been long deactivated in which they left a small segment of tracks there as a small memorial so yeah it was completely safe to shoot there if that was what you were wondering.

Nice location - also looks like she is wearing those contacts which have been popular in SE Asia for a while.

dche5390 · 2nd October 2012, 7:42 PM

Her eyes are crazzzzy.

Good processing. Good tone. Perhaps ditch the tilt?

Thanks. Was considering going easy on the depth of field but I found in most cases when I do that the picture becomes pretty flat and boring (to me at least) plus the subject of the photo seems to be lost. I've always been a fan of the wider apertures so I guess how I like to shoot I guess.

schliebs87 · 2nd October 2012, 8:16 PM

This is quite interesting work.

I wasn't sure about the eye touch-ups until I viewed your other portrait/model work on Flickr and it put it into context.

Personally I think the sharpness on the eyes can be knocked down a touch to blend through a bit more but I like the direction you've taken it.

kwax · 2nd October 2012, 8:48 PM

Nice location and outfit and shes very pretty.

Im just not sure about the last 2. her face seems to really pop out and looks to anime/fake/ over processed.. but thats your theme and style so it fits perfectly if thats the look you were after.

rifraf · 2nd October 2012, 9:51 PM

OMG I'm in love (pics and topic)
Is she photogenic or what.....
Really like what you've done with the DOF.
Great location.
I like pic six the best as I just get lost in her eyes in that one.
Love the way the tracks just melt into blur

triggerpeg · 2nd October 2012, 10:04 PM

Tone and lighting is good. Only 2 areas that you might want to try is backing off a bit on the sharpening/contrast and smoothing? Think its overdone esp the eyes. Its almost like you've only cell-shaded the eyes. If thats the style your looking for then possibly do the entire photo to make it like this from thiscosplay?

e.g. Camille_I_Photoshoot_06 - Her eyes are so sharpened and her lower eye lid so surfaced blurred that they seem to be copied and pasted in the wrong area. Some times shadows are useful for the brain to make sense of locations

The smoothing looks a bit -too- 'Asian Cosplay Photoshop' to me.
I initially thought 'Nice Contacts' for the eyes, too.

There is no way she is from the country....

spectre257 · 3rd October 2012, 12:52 AM
