Happy mother, happy daughter. Double portrait of my sister, Cristina and her young daughter, Sara.

To arrive at this result of this image, I combined a saturated colour picture with a black/white picture in Photomatix Basic program.

I took this picture on the 15th January 2008, in Romania.

In my WS I will show you two different versions: sepia, and black & white (with strange eyes...Buuuuu!)

HI Liliana,
Beautiful double portrait here.
Nice,sharp and clear..Good use of lighting too.
Pretty well done my dear friend.

CM

Thanks for the wonderful critique on my "CAT Episod 1" picture...:)

Hello, Lili,
they are both so beautiful with the most wonderful eyes. Lovely colors and skin tones, sweet expressions, excellent detail. The sharpening artifacts around their eyes disturbed me, though and I did a workshop to try and remove them. I hope you are not offended. Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

Well don Liliana - beautiful skin tones and eyes with the light catch well captured - can see the resemblance between mother and daughter.

Well Lili, you must be a proud aunt...
I prefer the colour version you posted, though Shelly did a nice ws on it. Beware of the harsh flashlight when shooting at close range... Put a thin white paper handkerchief in front of the flash: you'll get diffused light, and a bit less strong.
Nice tight compo of your sister and her daughter.

something rememebers me something!! ;))
brava Lili!! i really like the wonderful couple!.. there are unic feelings!! expressions are of love.. and so nice to look at!! thanks

Buna Lili, imi place mult POV-ul ales, iar modelele sunt foarte frumoase, ce ochi au amandoua! Imi place mult portretul acesta dublu. Felicitari! Il prefer celor din WS, desi PP e remarcabil si acolo, insa varianta asta e mai calda din cauza tonurilor.
Weekend placut,

Ciao Lili bel dopio ritratto di madre e figlia con gli stessi splendidi occhi e la stessa dolce espressione, molto bella, brava, buon week end, ciao Silvio

Absolutely beautiful Lili, your sister and daughter AND your picture - thanks for explaining the how to do it!

Els

A nicely composed portrait Liliana with good colour and skin tone. Once again though I feel your choice of PP has let you down, that plastic effect and too much sharpening. The sepia for me where the PP is not so noticeable.
David

Hi Liliana, how are you?
You already know my opinion about shining reflets in P/P, but these are fairly good.
Cristina and Sara are delicious, they have a powerful, deep eye-contact with your camera and appear so natural.
TFS
Ciao, Antonella

Hi Liliana

A good dual portrait of mother & child, with wonderful colour. sharpness & dof. Well framed also. Tfs!

Hello Liliana

Congratulations for your sister's beautiful look Cristina and his niece Sara.
The daughter's eyes as the one of the mother.
a beautiful close of the two, beautiful the expression of your faces.
Sells WS I liked Sépia and colors.
Excellent light, colors and sharpness.
Greetings!

Hi Lili,
Indeed, mother and daughter ! the same eyes. Your sister is a copy of you ! ;-)
Very nice portrait Lili, your sister will be proud on it. Good job. Good colors and sharpness.

Such a touching heartfelt portrait Liliana.
Magnificent lighting and composition.
Beautiful capture. Well done.

Hi Liliana,
A very nice portrait with lovely colors and a very pleasantly smooth texture.
My son has eyes of the same color and I've also tried BW portraits of him leaving his eyes in color but this type of blue is so close to grey that in the BW version you can't even tell the difference. That's why the different blues end up looking so unreal when you alter them!
I also like the sepia version of this portrait.
TFS

Hello Lili
Marvellous composition and very good sharpness / details.
Maybe next time a little less pp like in here ..

Hi Liliana
A very good portrait.
Very good eyes.
This image will be treasured by your family.
Well done. TFS.

I think what makes this shot is mostly the resemblence of Mother and daughter's eyes. I think it would be more interesting if you zoomed in closer and focused only on the faces. Thanks for sharing.
