Tom Lupton's picture

CC please! My first portrait attempt!

Hi, I suspect the eyes are too processed... but otherwise I think it's fine, and want to learn from you what I can improve. Thanks!

I think it is a very good photograph. Yes the eyes are over done, you knew that. The other issue I have with it is that it grabs me as being lit with a symetrical approach but the effect on one side of the face is markedly different to the effect on the other side. I feel it might be better, at least in some ways, if both lights were the same quality and strength and angle, etc.

Bottom line it is a good photograph, which just needs a bit more polish and a bit less, eyes. Good job.

I agree with you and Ian about the eyes. It also seems like the depth of field is just a little too shallow with the nose being out of focus. I also feel like there may have been some sharpening done to the face that wasn't needed. Overall it's a good photo that can be improved with a bit more polish.

Gents, thank you both! Taking this all to heart, and expect the next to be that much better. Appreciate it!
