Peter, aren't you overdoing the blur a bit ?

May be ... may be not ...

It may be a bit overdone, problem is that poor Abi has quite bad eczma which was prominent in the origimal. Also quite shallow DOF (F4 at 200mm) dosen't help.

And... it could be a photo with some kind of work on it.
In terms of painting - looking from that side - it is not very creative. Doesn't provoke you with something new. It is a repetition of old techniques. It's realistic. But you have to be able to it. I couldn't.

Well. I am going to work on something else now and I hope you can argue with me about this later on when you read. Thank you for posting.

Before I post I read the text twice and do you know what came to my mind ? This can be your photographic work and you are disguising it as someone else's paintings. Why ? Do I know why ? You tell me.

Hi Antonio Correia,

Thank you for your valued opinion. There is no need for me to post somebody's work as mine, If this was indeed a photograph taken by me,( I would have proudly posted it in my name. Why should I hide myself ).Nor I have photographed this from Painting myself, this is also somebody's else work.

I dont know the name of that FORTUNATE photographer, who had the opportunity to do the job, which he has done excelently.

One of my friend has sent me a PPPresentation
alongwith Images for my study., as I am myself a photographer, and I was doing very creative Photography in my field of work... WEDDING AND EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHER I HAD MY OWN COLOUR LAB IN SEVENTIES FOR MY OWN WORK ONLY. as I have told you earlier since last 15 years I have not taken any photographs., and I have till now not handled DIGITAL CAMERA., and you were laughing on me for this..

Anyhow if you want I can send you entire PPPresentation.... Iranian Artists name is also there and How Great He was or IS., and other particulars...

I have posted 5 more Images in another thread, all are having very good lighting effect, they are
also work of the same artist

I have been very busy lately, so good for those who visit this thread! And I have a new model this time, so not the usual




Antonio, those pictures are great! Was it done using a flash or you used ambient light?

[Alis]

Great one, Antonio! You know, would be great if you could post the original without any adjustment and then tell us what adjustments you did to it. If you can of course!

Is your new model ARUN SOURIE ?

[Antonio Correia]

... Antonio, those pictures are great! Was it done using a flash or you used ambient light?

Your picture is also very good. But however you have used us to a better standard ... , a better level than this one. OK You have been busy. You are excused !

All natural light. No flash, just natural bounced light !

[Alis]

Is your new model ARUN SOURIE ?

Hi Ashwin, he is my father in law! No, that is not why I have been so busy

Arun sounds indian, who is Arun Sourie?

Thanks, Antonio! It is actually with bounced flash. Gary Fong!

I specially do not like the background. And I did not really spend a lot of time on the coversion, but tell me what you see wrong with it please.

Thanks a lot, Antonio! I really appreciate it. I have to watch it closely. If you cold take a wonderful picture like that with a 20D, I have been wasting my 5DMKII

I see, Ashwin! I have to show them to him!

Nope Alis. You do very good work also with your 5D.

I read somewhere: "Don't blame the camera blame yourself"

No, seriously you do very good work with your camera. I shot this one with the 20D and the teddy bear. (70-200 f/2.8 L IS USM Canon)
The light was very harsh and aggressive if this is not the same and - as we can see - he was at the shade where I like to shoot people.

I am sorry if the video has no sound but this is already an improvement.
Neverless you can follow the work I have done on the photo since the beginning and see how flexible LR is. It keeps all the history of what you do in the photo.
That is why I could re build the history, starting from the beginning. You can even appreciate how I have hesitated when I was cropping.
