Thought I'd scrape this one in before Midnight and I turn into a Pumpkin.

Excuse someone's Butt crack on the right. :? :?

Mic. :wink:

Did you get permission to shoot the guy's bum?

Nicely composed photo.

IMHO the left leg of the girl would look more natural without the green bias

I think I'd prefer the crack PP'd out. :lol:

I think there is a "bum crack fill" tool in PS CS somewhere.

:lol:

I just read that again.

:lol:

Great use of selective colour.

mchampio, :wink: Ha ! No I didn't, didn't realise until the other night when I was PPing. Yep you are spot on there, thats the reflection off the grass before I did the B&W conversion. ( Well spotted )


boxerboy, :wink: Nothing like a bit of Asssssss :D :D

Greg B, :wink: :D My new Wacom Pen will fit in there nicely I think.
Would that be the PSBCFT Tool ( Photo Shop Butt Crack Fill Tool )

I think we should patent this :?

Thanks All. :D :D

I agree with mchampio about the green cast on the left leg and think the whole image would work better if it were recropped to remove the folks on the right altogether. Much more interesting to wonder what she's looking at than seeing something there that makes no contribution to the pic.

Thanks Hlop, Glad you like :wink:

Thanks darb, :wink: Yes it worked well on this one.

Thanks Steve, :wink: You are right, The Butt Crack is not a good look :?
Butt He He :D ( Pardon the Buns I mean Pun ) is a well known site in Australia.

Mic. :wink: :D

IMO I get a general feeling from this forum that everyone (almost) always wants to capture a perfect full frame and is a little bit hesitant to crop their images. Maybe it's just that their trying to keep the highest resolution and sharpness possible in each frame. Or (and this is probably really it) maybe I just need to take my medication more often. I don't know. (sigh) :cry:

I tend toward the other extreme and immediately crop and PP out all of the extraneous little bits that bug me. Takes all kinds, huh?!

bit ofa rough generalisation there mate.

I'd agree that some cropping could work well, and almost suggested it, but thought not because the current composition doesnt bother me either. I find that because she is selectively coloured, it removes the need for the subject to be illustrated by a tighter frame. For me personally , anyway.
