Thanks, Ashwin! Looks nice.

However, personally, if I want to do that, I would only use a tiny bit of it and with black color, so basically a tiny bit of vignietting.

Very nice, Ricko. I agree with Antonio, the color is a bit off but easy to fix. Also if you have more and this is a crop, I would suggest revealing a little bit more of the head so that we can see the red ribbon (not sure what it is called exactly). But even with the current tight crop, it looks great!

You are now at a very good level as photographer Alis ... :)

Thanks for the comments. Keep meaning to try and fix photo up a bit, but havent got round to it yet. Cant uncrop any to get the headband in as it was a chance shot, Alis :) as she doesnt really pose for the camera i'm afraid :) Will try and correct the hue and tilt abit, but not sure how to brighten the eyes !:eek:

Thanks again !

Unsolicited... little humble help...can't tilt as this will result in further croping of the image.....your comments pl.

Thanks, Antonio! I am glad you liked it.

After seeing the first one...:rolleyes:

I don't know if I really like the second...

It's a bit artificial, isn't it ?

Nothing like the real bocket from good and nice lenses :) Don't you agree ? :)

My version

I like the closer crop - but why cut off her chin?

Because when I made the closer crop I was more worried with the composition and didn't see that.
As I think you are absolutely right I made the picture again.
However, yesterday evening I erased the picture from LR and it forgot the setting this morning when I when to recover the image from the bin.
I had to begin all over and this is the reason why the image doesn't look exactly like the first one I worked on.
Every time I work on a picture I have a view/point of view.:rolleyes:

To place the chin in I had to clone a bit.
Here are two versions.
I like best the bottom one.
In fact, I like this format very much 3/5 as landscape format. It is stable. Horizontal. :)

I am guessing this is a reply to Ashwin's post. I saw it in my email but looks the post itself is gone. Anyway, I did not get a chance to see his post here and can not comment but I agree nothing beats the real bokeh. Only from a good lens as you said. :)

Still can't see it. Your link goes to one of your early posts here #13, were you talking about that one?

I see. But there was another one apparently about my post, I thought you are talking about that one but it is not here anymore.

I can see the thumbnail for it from this email I got:

and how about this.... with background blurred


Anyway, I don't see it here now.

Yes Ali,

sorry..

That's what I guessed later and deleted the link to the bigger picture and not disabled the link to the thumbnail. It is there just to keep the thread's flow but does not work anymore (but you have do the same to post quoted from mine!) when you click on it ;)

Thanks!

Hi Ashwin,

Don't delete posts ;) Otherwise people in the future browsing the thread won't be able to follow the conversation :)

It's OK to delete or edit posts if you immediatly discover that something's not right, but once people have responded to it then it really should be left in place (although feel free to add an "update" note at the bottom).

Having said that, I have to say Ashwin that you are definately the CiC king of deleted posts! ;) (they don't fully delete - they just get hidden and at some stage the likes of Dave or I have a cleanup) (I just did a batch last night).
