May 18, 2009 Emily.
We went to the Dallas Arboretum yesterday. I have a photo assignment on portraits. I had to taken an outdoor photo using some type of framing. There are a few others I also have to do, but I am trying to take it one at a time. I like the framing, but for some reason Ems skin tone looks strange to me. Maybe it is her tan... Maybe it is just me - I am really hard on myself. What do you think?

on May 18, 2009This is a really nice portrait! Skin tone looks good to me but is certainly influenced by the flash bouncing off green leaves.

on May 18, 2009I know what you mean about seeing strange tones when taking photos outside among greenery. I googled white balance and got a tip about fixing it in photoshop under the "levels" adjustment. Just a slight adjustment under the blue "levels" helped with my outdoor portrait shots.

on May 18, 2009She looks like she has a tan. I do think her skin tones don't look as warm as you might like, so you might want to warm them up in Photoshop. I love the framing of the shot and the dof is lovely.

on May 18, 2009She's so sweet looking! Skin looks okay to me- a little bit of powder might have toned down the tiny bit of reflection- but really, you're just too hard on yourself. Got nothing else to suggest- I think this is a nice portrait.
