Codachrome's Fotothing

Lovely model....great focus but lighting too reflective off of face. Too much oil of Olay maybe?

Agree with peterpinhole.

I have to agree with both previous comments, a little bit of Gausian Blur in Photoshop would fix this, the lighting otherwise is great, it's not easy to get a pure black background (it's so often grey!) and I really do like the composition

Delighted !...........................to see this special BEAUTY !

A bit of powder would have fixed the high gloss reflection on the skin. I don't think Gauss Blur would be the best technique. There's a Liz Arden product that's preferable. A matte finish air brushing with careful colour selection would be my choice. Then a slight blur and add some texture as a finishing touch.

I took this stuck in a crowd of around 20 other photographers could not reach her to powder her nose,I have played around in photoshop and have a better image..thanks all for tips and comments,

you could touch up the reflection with ps. otherwise good picture !

healing brush tool could easily take that shine out

At long last, I have run across a page where the dominant language is Greek.

I LIKE THIS PORTRAIT (as is) :-)

hi Peter, greetings from Oregon. I have to agree with Larry, it's so rare you see a photograph here wtih actual critical comments, critical as in thinking/helpful type critical, which you seem to be receptive to this. Anyway, you got a nice shot all in all!
