[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My daughter – she is the joy in my life!

I have enhanced colour and contrast in Photoshop. I really like the photo but I am wondering if the retouch is a little bit to much or if it looks natural. I really would like to know what you think.

It looks very natural to me on my laptop screen. Great colours! The contrast of warm skin tones against the cool rock makes the subject clear, and the position of your daughter's face at a point of power immediately attracts the eye's attention. The depth of field is perfect too. I haven't really done any portrait photography (there are few willing models in my life :), but this is just what I'd be aiming for!

Do you think you could you post the original in the workshop? I'd be interested to see what you did to retouch it.

Hello, very well done and I thought it was natural before I read that you worked it out in photoshop. I also think the perspective interesting. And your lovely daughter is a future model because she is not shy with the camera.

your daughter is very beautiful...and I would guess that is a natural state. very nice!

Hej lisa. Nice picture! sharp and good colour and details. and a lovely daughter too. Good photo.

It's a nice natural look you've achieved. Your PP is like make-up - when well applied you can't see it! Your daughter is a willing model, and the natural setting is nice. I can't suggest any improvements for this one.

Excellent portrait Lisa! Your daughter looks natural, relaxed and happy. I think your photoshop work has improved the image a lot - the colours are much crisper.
