re-di Jim in New orleans

[Hazel Grant]

I know this is not "nature" but was told earlier that it would be ok to post. This is a re-do of an earlier post. I tried to follow suggestions as I reworked it. What I am going for is a water color look that might be put on a canvas wrap. I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks so much in advance.

I like the colors and effect, Hazel. The only thought I had (and this has nothing to do with the quality of this image) was whether or not you preferred all the skin tones to be consistant... like his left arm. Either way is just a choice.

Hazel, You are right, hand of man elements are allowed in OOTB. I too like the colors and the effect. Steve makes a good suggestion. I might evict the dark thing on the LR side before printing if it were mine.

Hazel,

Greetings. I remember the original. I really like this version. The colors are particularly appealing and the (what looks like) harsh light conditions of the original are handled well. You might consider toning down the two bright fingers.

Cheers,

-Michael-

I remember the original and I think this would make a wonderful canvas wrap. I do agree with the above suggestions. TFS.
