jer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi, WG. Don't see the original so can't be sure how much retouching was done. I like the finger shadows and wonder if the outside edges of the shadows need fading a little, not a lot. I also wonder about the darker 2 crease-lines under each eye: She seems young so did you consider lightening them a bit, or did you already? An original would have helped to answer my thoughts. Is this the original background or did you cut her out of the original? Perhaps a shallow depth of field makes the hair around the ears unfocused. The skin tones and texture look very real IMHO.

Hey, Jer. I was considering softening the finger shadows, but I actually liked them like that. I actually did lighten the lines a little, but didn't go as far as using frequency separation as I wanted to keep it as natural as possible. Background is original, just a little magenta from the color grade. Yes the depth of field, or lack thereof, is why her hair is out of focus.
