It helps tell the story of what you are doing! Great job! And, I have NO Idea about any editing. Mine are always SOOC so glad to read some of these other suggestions too.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288077416567992003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394810130405690247.post-88021384823509872072011-01-13T07:43:25.127-08:002011-01-13T07:43:25.127-08:00Very pretty!!

I would love for you to call me up & walk me thru some editing. :)) I'm still trying to understand some of what you said!Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759351507067912419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394810130405690247.post-73864146914775896252011-01-10T23:33:43.320-08:002011-01-10T23:33:43.320-08:00This picture is great...it makes me feel like I am...This picture is great...it makes me feel like I am peeking around the corner to find you putting your make-up on. Great job getting in front of the camera. I agree with Megan, I think you could make the blacks a bit darker.

It adds to that feel of watching someone in a mirror. And I usually like a more distinct b/w but again I think the photo the way it is tells a story :) I did a self portrait too...

You could push the conversion a little further... you really want to see white whites and black blacks. Something to consider when converting is if you have a range of tonal values in an image. In this one, for example, you have a lot of midtones (skin and wall behind you) but you could selectively burn (pull down the exposure with the adjustment brush in LR) your hair and shirt to add some more dark tonal values. <br />I'm jealous of your girl's night... I need to find me one of those :)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361808160645106076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394810130405690247.post-59275478432527495242011-01-10T20:12:23.477-08:002011-01-10T20:12:23.477-08:00The focus fell on your hand but that's okay.

I agree that the b&w definitely added to your picture. I can feel that you were having a moment of quietness.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515209254030324368noreply@blogger.com
