Here's a shot that has so much going for it...but lacks one thing to make it a masterpiece. It needed a little fill flash to unblock those dense shadows that prevent us from seeing into the image. You have the shape, balance, texture, perspective and all the other elements working for you. A nice image that has a little more unrealised potential.

Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 6:39 pmMatt, thanks for your comment!! I'd just burned out my SB800 and could find no high power batteries in this part of Burma. They had these really old Panasonic batteries that lasted about 4 flashes!! I always carry spares now!! I've tried to rescue this in PS, but the face is irrecoverable!!
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 7:08 pmIt's a beautifully framed shot but matt's right. Pity about the SB800 but coouldn't you try to use exposure adjustment or dodge/Burn function on PP? It might help a little because it is a nice image Taro.
cheers

Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 7:38 pmTerrific image Taro, just absolutely splendid. Really well seen and composed. The face on my monitor looks a little alienlike. I wonder what it looks like dark?
I can't say how much I love this shot, the treatment, everything is bang on except for the face.

Try this. Make a duplicate in Photoshop, (control+J) Invert the duplicate to make a negative and put a small amount of gaussian blur through it...about 4 or 5. The go to levels and change the blending mode to soft light. Adjust the opacity to suit and then flatten the layers. Maybe that will improve the image and it's worth a try.
