Great shots Jay. Was there a white table in front of them or what? How'd you get the light in their faces? It looks good.

Thanks for the kind words Lee

There wasn't a white table, but the concrete curbing around the pool was pretty bright. I also used a curve's layer to brighten the image a decent amount and then softly masked the faces at a low opacity to brighten them up a bit. I then used a bit of Dodge to brighten just the eyes a little more.

Thanks again for the comments

Jay

Wow, nice PP work. Very subtle. I just noticed they both have braces. Good looking kids. How do you do your vignettes?

I really like the color one, the b&w looks funny on the one on the left.

Thanks Lee For the Vignette I use filter> Distort> Lens correction. Then I just add maximum vignetting on a new duplicate layer. I then play with the opacity of the new vignetting layer to fine tune it. Then I merge down

Harry,
Thanks for the comments He does looks a bit odd in the BW version, but that was the effect I was going for. I did the Midnight Black action on that image before I converted it to BW. That gave the BW version a kind of softish glow look. I kind of wanted a dreamy look??

I really appropriate the feedback


Thanks,
Jay

I like the last one. Scared me for a second though- thought there was a huge anaconda in the background!

Thanks Song

Dakota, Thanks for the comments!! I wish I had more time off for a Midwest visit!! I really want to get out there so bad. Those shots Stacey is posting are just plane Awesome!! I look forward to seeing some shots Ken

Padre, Thanks for stopping by

Goofup, That vacuum hose I was tempted to clone out, but decide to leave it Perhaps I'll clone that out cause it kind of distracting??

Felix, Thanks for the kind words I think the BW is my favorite as well. I love the effect of the Midnight Black action. Just amazing what it does, and it's free!!


Thanks again everybody for the great feedback. I really appreciate it

Jay
