Hey guys,

I took this portrait of my wife the other day. All the shots turned out blurry as the shutter speed was too slow, but I think I managed to salvage this in photoshop.

Also the second one is just something a little different.

Cheerio.
Owen.

The highlights in her eyes work well in the first one

Hi OWen - I really like the first one - well done

owen, the first one is great. Your wife is an excellent photographic subject - her spark really comes through.

I don't like diagonals much as in #2, but I have raved on about that quite enough in other threads.

You rescued it well - if indeed it suffered from handshake. I can see you've selectively sharpened her eye and inadvertantly her forehead in #1.

Like Greg, I don't care for the 45 angle either, but it's a personal dislike. The subject against a plain grass/field works well for outdoorsy portraits. However you've romanticised blurred the grass and not your wife!

Thanks Onyx. Yeah I blurred the whole pic then undid the eyes and hair... I may have got the forehead in there but I didn't mean it - honest!

As with the second pic, like I said it was just something different, nothing I'm especially proud of or anything

Thanks for all the comments.

Your wife is kind to let her photo be put up. I don't think my wife would allow me.
