Hi

What do you think of the below image and post processing?
C&C appreciated please. Any hints to improve?

Looks like you have done some dodging and burning! Very nice. Bit small for a PP review tho

Thanks. I just made it a bit bigger...I think. Might be easier to see now.
I also patched the bags under his eyes a little.

I like it, but I think dad's hairy arms and leg are a bit too prominent - perhaps a bit of blur would help?

Cheers

Agree with Digitor, infact you can replace Dad's pant colour with a less obtrusive one and tone down his hairy arms, increase the blacks as well as get rid of the bags under the eyes completely and smooth out the baby's skin as people expect to be soft...perhaps a romantic soft focus might not go astray..

I like the hair. the arms match the tuft on top of the head

but yes smooth the eyes or put flying goggles and a scarf on him

The big break in tone is the pants, however I find the baby distracts enough, and they act as a background - you may find the baby 'floating' if you do tone them down

Sent you a pm ....

ta to all. WIll have a look. His eyes have already had alot of "bag" taken out of them. It didn't quite look like Alex if I took it too far.
Thanks for your thoughts.
