Great headshot, however I think your crop is a little too tight and on the top. Posted: 10/02/2025 18:16:59
My main focus on my final picture are eyes and skin tone with texture. That was why I trimmed the top part little bit to make sure the eyes on 1/3 line according to the rule of Thirds Posted: 10/05/2025 05:25:25
I modified your crop as I agree with Mark that it is too tight. In LR I selected her face and adjusted the lighting on it, then I selected the background and darkened it as well. In PS I removed some stray hairs from her face and mouth. Posted: 10/04/2025 20:44:01
Adding light on the face may cause to loose the skin texture which one of several important points I want to keep. Posted: 10/05/2025 05:31:18
My only comment is that the cropping is a bit too tight. The lighting on the face is suitable. Nicely taken. Posted: 10/07/2025 00:07:02
Great, agree with Dorinda about cropping Posted: 10/08/2025 22:07:41
Beautiful portrait of a beautiful lady! I'll also chime in that the crop is a little tight. I like how Dorinda lightened up her face and darkened the background. Also, there are some hot spots above her left eyebrow, on the tip of her nose, and her lip (from a fill flash?) that could be toned down. The lock of hair over her forehead and the stray hairs distract me, and I really want to hit them with the remove tool. (It's a fashion portrait, so everything has to be perfect, right?) In your edited version, there are weird patterns in the background that look like artifact. Posted: 10/11/2025 05:26:34
Nice image great eye contact. I kind of like a tight crop on this. I do agree with Patrick on the strand of hair and threads. Just for fun here is my take on it Posted: 10/13/2025 17:30:01
