Finally I got to use the D90 after weeks of only using my iphone. Went to dinner with friends and snapped this one of my friend Elnaz. I have not cropped it, this is how it was framed when I shot it.

I could have, but since I was doing nothing but writing and reading for the last 4 weeks I didn't take it with me. My backback was filled with books and papers and a computer. adding the camera just would have been insanity

hehe me too but I get what I capture in half a second although it really says what type of person she is. This really was an accidental capture.

Not bad! It looks like, with a little post processing, it could be a dental advertisement.

I did a little photoshopping but not a lot. .I don't like those plastic looking shots of people.

Actually I was just noticing the teeth, I didn't notice the teeth the first time, but now that I see them I can see that they were photoshopped, with the soft texture. What did you do to whiten her teeth?

I just created a new layer, painted them white with reduced pressure and then reduced the opacity on the layer. I am but a novice at PS. I learn as I go.

try changing the blending type to 'soft light' or 'overlay', that way it can brighten without affecting the texture.

[Nicci]

I think I did do overlay. I usually do when I am enhancing colours like that.
