Bong, That's a nice portrait. Go all the way and take out the whole shadow. Now that you made me notice it, it still bothers me. Regards, Bob S. On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 2:39 AM, Bong Manayon wrote: > Fixed. > > http://www.flickr.com/photos/bongmanayon/3121815671/ > > I took Jack's advice and ro

It's a really nice portrait, and cloning out the plate is a good idea. It looks like it is an easy fix. I rummaged thru your Flikr pictures, and found many more excellent portraits. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Mike On Dec 20, 2008, at 7:09 AM, Bong Manayon wrote: Peak season for partie

When portraits are the subject, extra post processing is worth doing - all you can do is improve the shot - you are not trying to show the true nature of the wall, are you? Clone away, I say! -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, December 20, 2008, 4:09:11 AM, you wrote: BM> Peak season for partie

Bong, this is one of these things that unless mentioned explicitly hardly gets noticed. As a matter of perfection, you might want to consider cloning it out. As a matter of real life photograph, I don't feel distracted by it even by the tiniest bit. Boris Bong Manayon wrote: Peak season for

Hi Bong Nicely composed portrait - you've captured their expressions well. If you hadn't mentioned it I probably wouldn't have noticed the A/C switch - now my eyes go straight to it! It doesn't really detract a lot from the image but it shouldn't be a difficult cloning job. I'd give it a go.
