Been playing with filters in Photoshop on the weekend and would appreciate some feedback on the treatment of these images.

Sorry for the kid content, it's all I shoot anymore.

My monitor isn't calibrated, so would like to know especially if the images appear too dark or lighte etc.

Cheers

I really like #3 :)


For #1 you may try a softer diffuse there with warmer tones.

For #2 I would prefer a brighter contrast there. Or boost up the contrast even more for effect's sake.

Thanks Yip.

Number 3 I intend to print and hang. The first one of my daughter looks better with a larger version, but I will play with the softness as you suggested.

As for the second one, well I really am unhappy with that one and thought I would just throw it in and see what could be suggested. Somehow I think I need to go back to the start and do over again. Ít's so hard getting 3 kids looking at you at the same time :shock:

Thanks for taking the time to help out.

Deb, love the expression and rosy cheeks on 1, think it is fantastic. Like 2 but maybe a touch of fill flash, or as Yi-p says more contrast. 3 seems dark but it highlights the faces, might try to expose it 1/3 stop lighter?
