Hi,
this is my first post on FStoppers and I recently started reading about some retouching techniques. I am very impressed on how much experience and knowledge you have to have doing this job. It´s the borderline between working on the image and still letting it look natural.
I did a photoshoot with an opera singer for her new show. I like this photo very much and did some retouching on the face. Can you have an experienced look at it and give me some advice how to maybe further improve it?
Thanks for your help!
To me it looks like single point focus center of the frame. Meaning it looks like the sharpest point in the picture is her bust and not her left eye. But I might be wrong as i am looking at this on my phone.
I know what you mean - hm, maybe it´s also because I have to make her face more prominent. Lighten up the eyes and so on - I am working on it!
I think you need to boost the shadows in the top half of this image. Darker shadows on her face would pop her out a bit more.
Thank you for your advice - I will try to work on it!
I think the tan line on her shoulder should be removed and the tone evened out.
