ok, enough of me! This is Emily, she wanted me to take some pics of her for her myspace profile. She typically wants them to be done like advertisments, last time it was Victoria's Secret, this time it was Nor Cal clothing and Juicy Cotour. grabbed the logo off the internet (i know, I suck) and darkened the words as well as lightened the star. I know the edges on her are a little rough with the shadows and what not but that's cuz my original background was my dirty wall and it was kinda difficult to clean up in editing.
This pic looks a lot cooler in color btw, I made the background a crazy teal color :P
I like it! Very sassy and clean. I think the edges look just fine. I was thinking how clean and crisp it all looked till you pointed that out and then I had to look all around the edges to find a teeny flaw somepleace :) I think she prob'ly loves this Myspace version.
Other than the issues you mention Leah I think this is a great image, especially the conversion on her hair and face. Am sure Emily is very pleased with it :)
I've never even visited a myspace page (I'm too old - the system would automatically reject any attempt) but I get the impression this is totally a myspace kinda picture.
Her skin tones are nice, and there are good highlights in her hair. Is this a flash shot? There are some pretty hard shadows behind her. I like what SherwinJames did for the background using an overlay.
