    Re: Little Lamb

    i like it Seth...

    I would just have her hair down neatly with that highlight behind her. (think Rober Palmer video "simplly irresistable) .

    Clone out that white fabric near the right elbow

    work out the contours on her arms(d & b) and even the folds of her skirt area... emphasizing the highlights...since you have that type of processing going on there.

    and accentuate the highlights on the background too... just enough ..and not overpowering ... like those bars near the window.

    all in all...this is a good concept.. I like it.

    Re: Little Lamb

    Thanks, guys.

    Charlie - I could definitely do that, but the bg is noisy as hell. That's partially why I added haze. But I could try bringing up the mids and maybe use some NR.

    What I had originally wanted was hay flying everywhere, basically.

    Phil - thanks a lot for commenting. Your feedback is invaluable... particularly given the subject matter. I haven't done many "beauty"-type shots, so I need all the feedback I can get in making that element of this image as workable as possible.

    The hair I could definitely change - she had her hair pulled back in the base image. Quite a different look.

    Okay on adding highlights the arms and dress... though I'm terrible at contouring. I see what you mean... that the arm should match the face, processing wise.

    Will work on the bg, too...

    Not sure which part of the fabric should be cloned out... ?

    p.s. took some of the red out of her skin, as well. Much better.
