Hi all,

I'm relatively new to MI (Well, I'm at least not as active as some of you, I'm sure) and I thought I'd toss out an image for review/critique as well as invite a general once-over to the portfolio I've uploaded here.

In particular, this one. Thoughts?

Hey there Adrian, welcome!

I really like the image/pose, nice shot! IMO, and you can take that for what it's worth, the focal point is the baby's eye. I think you're losing it a bit because of the more intense lighting at the lower part of the image. I did a fast tweak here to show you what I mean. Hope you don't mind? You can now tweak it again to taste regarding the lighting intensity.

I also prefer Rick's edit as its more smooth and has some distractions removed.
The headless mom is still a problem for me, I think I would have lit her to include her or crop closer on the child.

I agree with the above. The lack of lighting up to the mother of the child in the shot throws me a bit. I would have liked to seen either the shot cropped in tighter or lighting to include her but overall the concept is nice.

Rick has the right idea, but I would take it further. Seriously burn in that blue in the background, and add some flesh tone color back into the legs - they look grey. Then burn the mother's arm, also.

Nicely done. Roger took it all the way and the result is better than my version. Hey OP? You for asked our opinions and we responded. What do you think?
