Libby's Sunglasses

I hung the cropped version of this photo on the wall for critique this week. To be honest it was a last minute print that I wasn't crazy about but the class really liked it so I thought I would put some more work into it. I up-ed the contrast a bit (one comment had been that it need some more contrast especially in the sunglasses area). I also put up the full image so it's obvious what i did. It's still translating as a little pit too pale and not contrast-y enough which i will change if i decide to print again.

The full version is also a bit red/pink... i had trouble making the glasses feel how i wanted them to and getting her skin tone right. If I decide to print the full picture, I'll adjust her skin tone/hair because she is blond... not a red head!
I do like that i can see my reflection in her glasses as well as the clouds behind me. I had a lot of fun working with reflections this week and getting myself into my own pictures. I'm working on my "Fall" picture this weekend and also hope to work on some portraits of my family while we are together.
Have a great break! See you next week.
