Today was Constructive Feedback Friday over at I ♥ Faces and I got addicted, like I always do. Something about working with brand new photos that I haven’t taken is kind of fun to me. 😉
The I ♥ Faces contributors (plus Amy and myself) try to make sure that each entry receives feedback from at least one of us. Here are a few of the photos that I worked on today:
Entry #28 by: Lyndsey G – I loved this photo so much. I used Camera RAW to open up his beautiful eyes a bit and then I did my basic edit to brighten, boost and sharpen the photo a little more. This photo was just so cute!
Entry #14 by Hotomom – Isn’t this little girl a doll? I just grabbed my daughter, Weslea, and told her that we needed to try this pose the next time we have a nice day. I tried to go with a real natural look with this edit. I just love the way her brown eyes sparkle!
Entry #27 by *bowbenie* – The skin tones were really difficult to work with in this photo. A combination of a little boy playing outdoors and the reflection of the bright red slide on his face. He still looks a bit pink to me in my edit (urgh!) but I really love the B&W edit. And B&W is one of the easiest ways to get rid of skin tone issues. 🙂
Entry #29 by Maria – This photo was tough because the focus was a bit off of her eyes and was actually on her hair. There is no way to fix focus when it is off, but I tried to tone down her skin tones a bit (a reflection of the magenta/red in her shirt) and went with a B&W edit as well.
Entry #30 by Megan – In this entry I felt that the darkness of the fabric on the couch competed with the softness you look for in a baby photo. I decided to change this photo to B&W to get rid of that problem.
Entry #40 by Jenna – This photo is just amazing and makes me want to run to my nearest rodeo (which would be in another state because Ohio is not known for their rodeos. lol!) I thought she took an amazing photo with the equipment that she owns and basically just worked on this one because it was fun!
If you enjoy editing photos, head on over to I ♥ Faces and give it a try!
And thanks to everyone who put their photo out there for advice and who let us borrow their photo for a day. Constructive Feedback Friday is a lot of work, but it sure is fun too. 🙂
