    PS touch up: believable? adina---what do you think?

    I posted this recent pic of my friend---and I was very distracted by the watch in the image (so were a few other people if I remeber correctly)--- I played around with it for a while and desaturated and adjusted levels, dodged , burned, cloned till I was pretty happy....here's round two

    markg740 and ladybugamanda,

    Thnaks for looking---I was feeling good about the way it turned out but it's always good to have a few set of eyes looking because they can be more critical and have more attention to detail
    when it comes to assessing the work that you have done. you know what I mean...there have been so many time when I've cloned stuff and I'm like"that's great" and two or three people notice the slightest thing that I didn't even catch.

    so thank you for checking it out

    Give yourself a gold star. Nice job on a beautiful image.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Great work! Can't tell at all, even in the clothing behind where the end of the watchband was.

    They haven't she's still having false labor pains ---for a few days--- he works about two hours away---so between their schedule and ours it hasn't happened yet...Larry(my hubby) was suggesting we only amke 4x6s for them and then wait till the babay is born and have a hardback book for them with the baby included...

    thanks for prompting me about the watch---I was feeling lazy about cloning it out... but all is well I guess...

    the watch band ended right at a wrinkle so it gave me a natural clean line to come off of...got lucky...not always the case... I have a hard time blending edges...
