STORMY WEATHER (trees)
Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.

LUCY IN THE SKY
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.

INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT OR INTENTIONAL BLUR
I'm going to be trying this again because I rather like the outcome of this on my lavender in the garden, which has finished for the summer now, so I couldn't go and do it again.

Hi Cristian. For me everything is done well.
Darker background fixes the eyes on the model. Seeing the hair streaks I assume the background was the same and not changed in PP. leaving little of the left, there are no major distractions. Am sure you also know about a hair steak on right eye.
on the contrary, requesting to share your lighting set up, meter mode and other meta. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! I share what you requested
Spot Metering

Hi Cristian. Thanks. so this was natural light portrait. Spot meter darkened the background.
Good processing.
Exactly. Natural light only. Thank you Vijay
I think that the hands need some retouching too. Or the face needs less. There is too much difference in visible detail between them and the face.
Otherwise I like it.
Thank you for the feedback Adam. Appreciate it
I like the deep DOF. It’s just enough context and still blurry enough to separate. I also like level of darkening to pop out the subject.
I don’t like messing with flyways myself, but, I think I would have tried to get rid of a lot of them, especially the ones contrasting the dark background. Also, the strands across her eye. I suck at photoshopping so I can see that being a little tuff, maybe.
The smoothing on her face looks too heavy handed. That style at that smooth level usually has the tendency to give skin a flat look and plasticky.
I would smooth her hands a little and reduce the red/pinkness.
Last one :) remove the gold/yellow cast from her throat. And, slightly smooth that too.
Great feedback! Thank you!
