Alright Rikki, I believe you - you did enter the wrong version, cause I know you would not have entered this on purpose. Looks like a great picture underneath all that processing - I look forward to seeing the "correct" version.
I like the pose, and this does have potential. But it just looks strange, like its over processed on the face, and the lighting is kinda on a weird angle.
This is a great composition, and could be a winning shot. There's a problem, however, in that it seems to be very low resolution, or perhaps has too much neat image applied. Hopefully, the base image is technically good and you can produce a better quality version of this compositionally and subject-wise stunning shot! I wonder if this is Rikki's entered by mistake shot? He does like to play with neatimage! (Sorry if you are not Rikki!)
way, way, way, way toooooo much neat image. i'm sure there is a beautiful image under there, somewhere, but your post-processing has all but hidden it.
A lot of potential, but I feel the blur/softening is excessive and has become distracting. The light reflections in her eyes look a bit odd to me as well. Like they are layered with crumpled celophane.
I liked the thumbnail of this photo a lot... unfortunately, the full version looks almost plastic, which is usually an indication that too much Neat Image was applied... the odd shape of the highlights in the eyes is also distracting to me.
Think you have destroed good image with bad post processing. Dont know if you have used some kind of robust noise reduction or some blurring. Either way it dont look good imo
I really like parts of this shot. The composition & subject matter are both really good, but the image quality is not great, I can't tell whether this is over processing of bad jpeg compression. The eyes look over sharpened and the edge of the nose is very soft and looks heavly cloned. This would be a 10 for me if it were not for those things. As is it a 6.
Very beautiful. The hair (eyebrows and lashes included) and skin give it the feeling of a painting. Excellent composition. One of my favorites. Good Luck
this may have been done before - :-) Sharpened within an inch of it's life, or is that just neat image? the halos on the eye brows and other dark areas are kind of a give away 5
Too much sharpness on the hair and eyebrows, too much glow on the eyes. It looks a bit over worked. I love how you set this up, The eyes are gorgous, the crop and the scarf are great though.
I really like the composition. The only thing I don't like is the artifacts that can be seen from what looks like the results of sharpening and smoothing.
Too much neat image or surface blur for my liking .. otherwise a nice picture try to use DESPECKLE instead it does the same kind of thing without leaving a plastic look.. I had the same thing happen to me with a picture I thought would get around 6-6.5 .. ended up at 5.2, i never use blur any more after that.. good luck
Fantastic shot (composition, lighting, color) ruined by over-smoothing of the subject's skin. While this type of shot has been done many times before (with good results) I think this would have scored very high had there been more natural skin and eye texture.
Great composition and colors. This looks seriously over-smoothed (is that a word?) with something like neatimage to me. Worth re-editing or even re-shooting if necessary and if you get the opportunity. But of course that's just my opinion.
looks too smooth. the image loses it's integrity with the amount of editing that it looks like has been done here. I love your Idea though. the eyes are great, and the vail across the face is very classic. I would watch the lights in her eyes, it almost becomes the focal point in this picture. again though, great job overall 7
I am so blessed to have the chance to see photos like this one which really touches my soul. It is so touching and warm and yes even fragile, just like the title.
I could be wrong but I think you have over cooked the neat-image here, where it didn't need NT at all. If I'm wrong I do apologise but it's just the way I see it.
