Thanks, Bruce.

I will take a look at the color again.  this was taken outdoors, in an area
surrounded by 2 story retail structures, about sunset.  There were some
colored lights of various hues in the vicinity.

Re: PESO: Blonde

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, John and Ann.

Hula shows can be very Disneyesque, depending who is doing it and why.

Traditional Hawaiian hula is quite different from what one sees at Tourist
Luaus.  Those feature a lot of Tahitian, Maori and Tongan dancing, because
those are more dramatic and energetic than serious Hawaiian hula, which
usually tells stories of the Hawaiian gods and the genealogy of the ancient
chiefs. If one avoids expensive resorts and goes to the local festivals and
events, the dancing can be beautiful and full of meaning and history.

This is out of context. I was commenting on a modification to a picture

I commented on was inferior. I have no problem with specular 
highlights. If you've seen my backlit wakeboarding pics, you would

Hi Bruce ... pretty well done.  Love the catchlights in Amber's eyes.  Pose
is pretty nice - relaxed, informal ...my first reaction is that it was just
about a perfect setup, but when I looked on my monitor in PS it seemed that
a little tweak with levels, color, or contrast could help out a bit, give
the pic a little extra sparkle without really changing the feeling or the
light very much.  On my screen there seems to be a veiling, or flatness, to
the image.

Hello Shel,

Based on your recommendation, I went back and punched it up just a
bit.  I think it does look just a bit better, although it has a slight
effect on the skin tones.  I'm suspecting my monitor is just a shade
more contrasty than yours.

Anyway, here's the changed image:

I think we're at the point of splitting hairs, really, as I don't think
either of our results is clearly better, just somewhat different

I prefer the original. On my monitor, the bright area on her forehead 
is beginning to show a hint of posterization on the higher contrast 
version.

Hello Shel,

Based on your recommendation, I went back and punched it up just a
bit.  I think it does look just a bit better, although it has a slight

more contrasty than yours.

Anyway, here's the changed image:

This is my daughter.  It was taken as the light was waning in the
evening.  I had to use a fairly slow shutter speed and large 
aperture to
get a reasonable exposure.  She had just gotten her hair highlighted 
and

wanted a few shots of it.

This example is far too bright on my screen, and the contrast has 
rendered her complexion almost ruddy. The highlights on her forehead 
and in her hair are near white.. My display is a calibrated Apple flat 
panel with the brightness set rather low to match my printer output.

Better, IMO - here's what looks pretty good on my screen:

I think we're at the point of splitting hairs, really, as I don't think
either of our results is clearly better, just somewhat different
interpretations, and with the differences in  monitors, who knows how 
other

may even see these.

Lovely photo of a beautiful young lady.  As for the two renderings,
although I do notice subtle differences, I couldn't say which I
prefer.

cheers,

Bruce,
Lighting, ideal. Soft, detailed and clean.
I think the depth concentrates the focus precisely as
it should. 
Beautiful subject.

Super shot Bruce. Pose and lighting are very good.

You certainly have the eye for positioning subjects.

Bruce, Lovely portrait, though I have to say I prefer the original, the 
coloring is much more subtle.
