Hi Diego

I like the bg and direct look Think the crop is hurting sharpness, corp wise would actually like more room to the right since its the direction for the turn. PS wise can increase mid tone contrast for more pop Would finish with another round of sharpening on the head area. Excellent Vale !!!!

Hi Diego - AL pretty much nailed my thoughts as well. If you implement AL's suggestions please repost would like to see
looking forward to seeing more :)

Hi Diego,
I like the frontal capture, the techs. have been covered...would run noise reduction in the background...looking forward to more...:cool:

Hi:

Thank you, for your feedback Alfred, Lance and Gus. After your comments It's seems clear that I must do some PS work with sharpness, mid tone contrast and noise reduction in the BG. I'm not too versed in PS (actually GIMP), but I'll try to do the best I can.

Best regards,

Nicely timed image Diego.
Editing to darken slightly worth a try.

Thank you for the advice Ian, I'll try to do it together with the other sugest by our folks.

Thank you Ian, the problem with the first post was the software used to resized the image to 1024x685, I used Fotosizer 1.10 and the image lost a lot of sharpness compared with the original. In my second post I've used the GIMP 2.4.1 and the image lost less information. Then two rounds of sharpening and and ajustments in the mid tones.
Cheers,
