Bob Jarman Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Beekeeper again... A déjà vu moment. Reworking trying to achieve a kinder, gentler result. Thoughts and comments appreciated. Thanks, Bob   NIKON D2X    50 mm    f/2.8    1/800 sec    400 ISO    0.0 EV   Feb 15, 2012 at 01:43 AM

Ryan Walton Offline • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · Beekeeper again... I think that it is a great shot! The only thing that I see that is distracting is the little black part that is sticking out of his hat in the middle of his forehead. My eye keeps getting drawn to that, but that could be just me. Also not that big but it could be my screen but the bokeh to the right of his head looks more "fake" or like noise. Feb 15, 2012 at 01:52 AM

Bob Jarman Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Beekeeper again... Thanks Ryan, The dark area is a wisp of hair, the blurred bokeh is the real thing - perhaps back down the blur. Looking again, I think his left cheek should be toned down ever so slightly. Now the left side above his shoulder is kludged together - original is a white-board with writing (prices) - not sure how to effectively darken that area. Regards, Bob Feb 15, 2012 at 01:59 AM

AuntiPode Online • • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · Beekeeper again... A better version than the previous ones, if memory serves! Perhaps a mid-tone bump, some background simplification and a little more space to gaze into? Feb 15, 2012 at 07:41 AM

Bob Jarman Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · Beekeeper again... AuntiPode, Nice clean-up work. Thanks! Bob Feb 15, 2012 at 01:13 PM

What I did above, entirely with Levels was: 1) Move input highlight slider left to lighten the highlights 2) Move the output shadow slider right to lighten the shadow values 3) Moved the middle input slider right to darken the midtones.

Yup, seems to be a habit of mine Thanks, Bob Feb 15, 2012 at 02:01 PM
