I wonder why you add noise on this one Jean. they are looks odd on the some place of her face :D and since you make it into this effect, IMO it will be nicer if you just brush the other remaining dark are on the bg. I dont know if your intention was to leave some details because i can see a man on the bg. But the rest just like spots :D

Hi J.C.,

Kigh Key - yes I love that effect - here it provides the picture wioth a light, bright feeling. It is as if she has to hold on to her sunhat because otherwise doves will bump into her hat.
However I guess that she hold her hat, because her arm has received too much contract. You can keep the BG like it is now, but you can select the lady with the hat and apply it as an additional layer with lets say 30% opacity, to provide a bit more definition - that way you can also see her holding her sunglasses.

I have to say - I like it!

Even though it gives the impression of bright, bright sunlight, I really do like the way attention is drawn into her face and is held there by a lack of anything else solid around her.

Salut Jc
Dis donc tu en as croisé de jolies touristes ;-) J'aime bien le style minimaliste de ce portrait surexposé. Ici - comparé a l'autre portrait dans le même style que tu as proposé récemment - la surexposition n'est pas gênante, sans doute due a un contraste moins fort. Par contre, ici je ne me serais pas gêné, j'aurais joué du tampon pour effacer toute trace du décor, qui - à mon goût - perturbent un peu la vue de la demoiselle.
Amicalement

hello Jean Christophe,
PP work using high key is a useful tool for managing pictures that are nt satisfactory in their original state. Your PP work here has produced a nice, artistic effect.
