Deborah Parkin, 11 months ago

great portrait – love the expression and skin is beautiful – love this colouring too – how do you do it if you don’t mind me asking – it’s fab.

Nicole Goggins, 11 months ago

thanks bidkev, cathleen and deb.
Deb – I have played around with the hue/sat, levels, colour balance, curves and blur – with some masks…
louis has naturally very, very white skin (irish decent) – poor thing!

Peter Horsman, 11 months ago

Great colouring…and expression :o)

Deborah Parkin, 11 months ago

thanks Nicole – it looks fab and i can see a lot of work went in to it – something else in common too – I am half irish – hence Fleurs white skin – lucky things

beautiful portrait Nicole. It’s amazing how it almost looks like a painting.

Michelle Boyer, 7 months ago

Nice composition and a great expression!

berndt2, 7 months ago

Excellent treatment – I love the colour of the hair, eye and lips and I particularly like how the softness of the hair is contrasted by the background. I also like the ‘angled’ eye-contact with the profile shot, and the subtle reflection on the interesting background. Great concept, great shot!

Douzy, 7 months ago

Lol this is my 3rd comment on this one but it is so priceless!! :)

Loren Ioppolo, 7 months ago

Awesome work…can you share how you got this softness?

Nicole Goggins, 7 months ago

Thanks everyone for making comments – I had this printed A2 size and I just LOVE it!
Hi funkyporchini, I adjusted the hue and used a ‘gaussian blur’ with a mask to mask out the eyes (100%) and other areas (different %’s) to leave some detail ie reflection, with some ‘dodge and burn’ and adjusted levels…

Mark Hayward, 7 months ago

would make a great book cover! love the texture in the background..beautiful work Nicole.

Wonderful work and great processing. Your style is quite distinctive. I love the way his eye is just almost looking at the camera, helps portray the stubborn mood.
You should consider doing some professional child portraits, very lucrative these days I believe.
