Hi Yves, IQ is a lot better on this posting, likewise the colour, although the OOF vegetation is the FG is a little distracting running over part of the face. Did you add any saturation, as the BG colour looks a little pushed IMHO. I also think you could lose a little off the top.

Base on an earlier reply, this image look/appears to have more done to it ie in its processing, has it?

Please note maximum height is 800px not 1024px, please ensure you keep to this for future posting and also there is no need for the stars in the title, keep things simple, thanks.:w3

cheers
Steve

My usual workflow : converted in ACR with clarity, vibrance, saturation at +10; contrast : +50; resize at 1024 (sorry for this vertical) and my special script (action). That's it!

Yves, the only reason I asked was based on your reply to one of your threads (see below), therefore I assume this is not going in any competition? I am surprised that NO didgital manipulation is allowed in you comps, as in it's nature digital files need to be at least sharpened. Most International comps do allow some manipulation (simple tweaks), but cloning is a NO NO, however when you get to the finals they do ask for the RAW so they can compare.


I have recently participated in some photo contests where it was mandatory NOT to manipulate digitally the photos.
