    Re: trying out differernt stuff on PS

    I like what you were trying for here - a city/cosmo type scene, a neat spot color, a chic model and some interesting angles. The background is just busy however - I would think simplification for next time. What you did in PS isn't bad btw but I think a spot would work just soooooo much better in a studio against a simple or plain background........

    Just a woman thing BUT take out the neck wrinkles, we are all sensitive to them... either ask the head to strech to remove them or PS' em... just a thought... and I think a busy background might work if it was more of a pattern... right now too much is there... but If it was something of a pattern It would help echo the shirt.... brick or wrought iron, gate, something!

    The PS work is cool and I agree about the back ground but what bothers me most, is the chopped of foot...It also looks a tad tilted to the left, but that could be how you framed it..?
