This is my very first time to edit my picture. I don't know if this one is good or what.. can you please say something on how I can improve this one or how can I make a good photo editing next time? thank you! =D
I'm with Ryan on this perhaps sharper or more depth of field, alsothe concept of the photo is a great idea but the eyes should lead you into the photo instead of out. perhaps reversing the positions of the two images. Beautiful model by the way. lofve to see your results.
( i am shy... ) i don't know if this one is better or even worst?? i don't know how to edit the things on the corners.. so what i did is i just made a round border..
..and i think the eyes now is not that blurry.. by the way, i tried to reverse but it doesn't look good..
i don't know if this will satisfy you guys ( **I AM SHY***)
Hi! This one is really better. But I think you may leave the area where the arms are a bit blurry and even to darken them a bit.
If you work in Photoshop then duplicate the background layer, add blur filter, use Eraser tool (hardness <50%) to erase blur from the face and the areas you want to be sharp (usually it's jewelry, sometimes clothes...) be creative!
Nice pic! )
I have been sitting gazing at you beautiful creation trying to find elemenst for improvement.
I wish also to seek what has not previous been observed. May I be forgiven being really critical?
1. The first element I notice is the differing shades of cyan. While they do not clash these shades do not compliment each other (to my eyes). I add the qualification because my equipment profiles are all set for me and my bias.
2. On the dark patches at the top corners I find the distraction of the lighting shadow (flood/flash) from eye-line to shoulder strap may be lessened or removed by gentle application of the appropriate brush. You may wish also to lighten the area of the hair (front top) which is lost on the dark corner patches.
3.The main feature of the photo seems to be the girl's eyes(?). This however does not fit within the Rule of Thirds. If you were to lay the grid over the pic I believe you will find the face (L) and (R) each almost fit but both do not.
Notwithstanding what I have jjust written I feel you have establish a beautiful portrait with a high emotional content. I wish I could do tghat. ciao

"Mike I like the winding road in the Flinders picture. It make you wonder what is around the next bend.
I agree that the last two B&W pictures by Jaime are a bit too dark. B&W requires more effort to make sure that light…"
"Hi! thanks for the observation on some flaws on the photo. Yup, i guess i missed some important details on that one. I was kind of zooming in on the couple and i practically forgot some details, like the feet. I have other photo of them taken from…"
