Mama Skimmer

[Don Hamilton Jr.]

Mama, watching youngster, when see gave me the look. In kind of close, blurred even with F8; attempting to give that blurred look again. Cloned some small beach debris .

very nice calling pose, Don. I really like the detail on the bill and the BG works well. Lifting the black point and desaturatinging the reds a few points is an option to try.

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice action captured, made much better by Tony's repost. In setting the white and black points, give yourself some leeway as not to go totally black or totally white. 10 and 245 sound like good options, although I like to keep my whites even darker.

[Bruce Enns]

Hi Don, I agree with Tony's comments, and his repost with richer blacks bumps it up a notch.

TFS

Cheers!

I like the pose, angle and eye contact, the repost looks good on my monitor. I might remove one of the catchlights.

Thks Tony! Fabs, so i think you are suggesting i go in and change my defaults on the correction for blacks to 10, and the whites to 245.. is this correct... learnng more about ps every day!
