Sam, I saw this portrait, and I really don't know much about processing, but I love the approach you took at this portrait, as opposed to the first one of your wife. In my mind, the closer the better. Seems it's easier to capture depth of the eyes,and their obvious attitude when you're closer to them. I enjoy portrait as well-- hope to see more! Suzanne
This has a lot of possibilities but here it doesn't live up to it's potential. By that I mean if this were a print done in a wetroom much more could have been done with it. This way it just sits there on the screen. The neck could have been printed down subtly and the face dodged and burned to give it more depth. It has potential.
