Thought I'd post up my first effort. It's subtle, but I didn't want to go too far (as it's VERY easy to get carried away!) as I didn't want to offend the wife too much Tongue

C&C's most welcome!

Thanks

That looks really good Paul. As you say, not too OTT and it IS easy to get carried away !
Nice looking lady you have there.

Looks great to me....also good job on whomever took the photo....no reflection in the glasses...that is hard to do.
Thanks Garratt & Kat. I took the photo with a Lastolite EzyBox mounted on a Canon 430EX flash attached to a camera bracket so I'm guessing I had it angled up and far enough above her head for it not to reflect in the old specs.
To avoid a flash reflection in specs I usually shoot two pix, one with and one without specs then merge the two. It works pretty well.

Nice first go at it. Cool

For the perfection-minded anal among us (hides), you might consider removing that little sweep of hair on the forehead--I think you can do that with PPRo.

Welcome to the forum. Smile
