I had the hardest time with this particular picture! The reason was it was one of the last taken that night with no flash and it was getting pretty dark. So, I had my ISO up to 800 or so, I think...but I think that caused my picture to be crazy red! Who knows what caused it, but it was really RED!!!! I tried all my usual tricks to get rid of the sunburned look, but didn't have much luck with it. I used a texture and ran an action on it called Ashley Vintage. I still like it despite my issues, but I wonder how it will look in print after ALL the edits I made to it.
Tomorrow, I plan on posting my favorites from this shoot. After that on to the next family in line, which should go by pretty fast. They were just looking for a couple of shots to choose from for the Christmas card this year. I told her I would try and design the card too for her, so I might be posting that in the next couple of days also.
Truly a beautiful shot - and a great edit.
ReplyDeleteDid the action leave her eyes, lips and bracelet in colour, or did you selectively re-colour them?
The green bracelet is subtle but definately adds interest.
I actually ran the action over the entire photograph then lowered the opacity on the black and white layer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! :)
