Hello Mike, There are two different issues here. One is your photoshop technique and the other is the portrait in general. It would be very helpful to see the original (normal) way you would process this for us to be able to compare. For what I see here, it has a slightly strange feel for me - almost like the background is oddly softened rather than a more natural OOF effect a lens would produce. But I would like to compare it before saying that for sure. Care to show us a normal rendering?
As for the pose and composition, I rather like it. -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, February 10, 2007, 4:57:05 PM, you wrote: MH> I've tried a two-step sharpening technique, and also a duplicate layer MH> with soft light.
