This is a lovely image--very well done...but, if you'll forgive my saying so, the cloning on your hair has too many obvious repeating patterns... I never revisit my own work (no matter how much I intend to! ), and you probably don't either--but if you were to revisit this, I would suggest either more care taken with the cloning to make it less obvious, or (my own favorite trick, since it avoids the repeats!) copying, pasting and transforming, your hair--either from this photo, or another, and using blend modes to make the the edits seamless. (For that matter, you could even just use a combination of liquifing and gaussian blur to make the hair look more random, and dreamy--since you almost have that effect going right now--and that would work, in an atmospheric piece like this one...)

I don't normally offer suggestions unsolicited--but this piece is too lovely for me not to want it to be a step closer to perfection.

Really well done. I love the natural light--most especially the blown out highlights on the far left--it gives this a dreamy, hyper-real effect. (And since I haven't seen the movie, I can't comment...but I can tell you that I've owned the book for years...and find it creepily irresistible...and this image fits the book perfectly! )

Bravo!

Thank you

Since i got my new monitor a few months ago i have noticed the hair, have been meaning to fix.

I do have a lot of hair like shown in the photo, but as far as i remember the placement wasn't right...using a timer and trying to position your self in 10 seconds isn't the easiest thing to do

I'll see what i can do to fix it

Thanks again

Athansor In reply to sayra [2008-01-17 13:54:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh, isn't that ANNOYING, when you look at your old work, with a new monitor--and you can see things you couldn't before?!!!! I HATE that!!!! It's especially bad with LCDs, where each generation is brighter than the last...and even when you work with both a color AND luminance calibrated workflow, there's *still* a difference, with a newer monitor! I'm always on pins and needles, when I send off the first print job from something edited on a new monitor!

(And I can easily imagine that getting your hair just perfect, while using a timer isn't the easiest thing in the world! In fact--I'm always amazed and awed by photographers who do self-portraits using timers...it seems like an AWFUL lot of work, to me! You'll notice that I can't be bothered, myself! And frankly--hair, in general, usually requires a little PS help, if you want it to look magazine-perfect--even when I'm working with my own models, women with gorgeous masses of heavy flowing hair...if they're laying down, it's a challenge to get it to look just the way I want it. Heck--I can SIT on my hair--but when I'm lying down, it simply *won't* fan out nicely and do artistic things...as I can tell you based on my long-ago teenage experiments--back when I felt that it was amazingly important to be able to sleep, beautifully. )

Anyway--it's a gorgeous shot, regardless--and I'm quite jealous of it.
