Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

A bloke named Griff...
Our friends were up a few weeks ago and Macka's baby photos reminded me that I took some shots of their baby. Here he is:
Nice one Owen - babies really look 'into' you don't they?

Lovely pic but I think there might be a bit too much PP done to this. The eyes don't look very natural.

Come follow the rabbit hole...
The eyes are pretty much untouched. I duplicated a layer, blurred it, then erased so the sharpness of the eye(s) showed through. The only thing I did to it was adjust the levels very slightly. It could be the reflection of the venetian that is off-putting maybe?
I thought you might have done the duplicated layer and erased the eyes method
 Usually that creates a fair bit contrast between the eyes and the face and the result is a rather creepy pic.
Try duplicating the layer, blur it and reduce the opacity to 50% (play with this setting until you like the result) or keep the opacity as 100% and play with the layer blending change (ie. multiply, overlay, soft light, etc). Hassy, Leica, Nikon, iPhone

Actually the layer on top was at about 20% if I remember correctly, the DOF was pretty shallow so I didn't want to blur it too much. I might try changing the layer blending modes though, I didn't think of that - thanks
