Default PSP practise.

Photographers Comments
desaturated in PSP, history brush eyes and lips, added lots of contrast.

Nice piece of work this mate. I think if you blurred or smudged the bottom left of the lips to blend the colour in it would be a lot better. It was the colour of the lips that drew me in. Love the way you have worked this one.
Cheers

Hey Alex. Great work Mate. really nice. love the shape of the shadow on her neck. pose is good and lighting is excellent. only gripe is i dont like the shadow on her chest. seems a bit direct and harsh compared to the other shadows..make her arm appear to just stop..having said that, doesnt stop me liking this one bit.

Quite stunning! The treatment is excellent, and the model's eyes are so hypnotizing. Nice one!

Hi Alex,
Nice one mate, and a very well put together PP practise excercize. My only gripe are the lips, I feel that the block of colour is too strong and bright for the rest of the image and it needs to be toned down slightly to complement the softness of the image. The eyes in my view are spot on.

Thanks to all of you for the comments, everybody on this site (including you professionals) are so helpful to those of us who struggle a bit with technology. You have given me a boost and now I shall try something else in PSP.
One eye on the book, the other eye on the DVD and the brain trying to make sense of it all. Lol. Thanks again.

Thanks Len and cleano, That PSP is a bit daunting. I suppose I should learn computer terminology first, might help. I am thinking of doing an evening course in computers.
