Post Your Best Portrait Shots!

Thanks. The lips were all her's. I didn't do anything to them. As for the watermark, I have been adding those to my flickr photos as a meager attempt to discourage copying them.

Lol I bet she has her own lips, but we are talking about the watermark lips in her neck right? Or do you mean your name-tag watermark?

I was staring at her actually lips wondering what the heck you were talking about, Jan! Now I see what you mean on her neck and partly on her jacket lapel. Looks like maybe the area was missed with the brush(?) You have a VERY keen eye, Jan!

Yes it's hard to overlook I guess The shape actually looks really similar to her real lips. It's probably just lip-flare.
I don't know if I'm right, but if this isn't a watermark on purpose. It might be a forgotten selection. Perhaps Brian adjusted the lips selectively and accidentally moved his selection over some other layers... I don't know. I do want to know though...Brian?

OK, you got me. Nice catch. I honestly missed it. I went back to check on where it came from and it was a layer that I was applying to everything but her lips and somehow ended up copying that mask twice. I wish I could claim it as a watermark, but sadly, no, it's just a flub. Luckily, she hasn't picked her photos yet and I have already fixed it. Thanks again for catching it. I knew there was a good reason to throw an image or two on here!!! I updated it and hopefully don't have lips in other places they shouldn't be.

Nice set of photos Mark! You sure have some tough customers. Hats are my absolute nightmare I've messed up quite some sports-photos where they had hats on.

Well, like Sean I prefer to not do kids. Sometimes my gas tank says otherwise and I take a commission for them. Here's a couple of my favorites from today's shoot.





Obviously, he's missing a shoe here. It was impossible to keep it on him. In this one I faked the expression by having his mother yank the shoe from his hands and I took the shot before the tears. Gotta do what you can, right?

Nice Rocco. What were the specs on the first shot?

As for the shoe - I think it's a great detail that the mother will look back on and laugh.
