Fashion-ish C+C needed

I'm spamming the C+C in here today sorry mods! Anyway, I went for a wander with my girlfriend today and took a few photos.

Ok so which one looks better? Also, out of interested, can you tell me what kind of monitor/tablet/phone your looking at?

There's not enough separation between the model and background IMO. It looks to me like the background was selectively darkened (and too much). And the face in particular looks overprocessed to me.

Cheers! Yeah I guess the background is a bit dark, but it was a woods, and when you fire the flash it blackens the background like mad! her face, oddly enough hasnt seen much processing at all?? I saturated the colour a bit alright she's quite tanned. think the diffuser makes her look a bit too shiney. I'm already seeing a lot I dont like about it. Maybe a bit hasty posting it up! :P

its a nice shot but the background needs to be lightened for contrast. also the models eye looks unnaturally bright. either because of pp, lighting or my monitor

BlastedGlute · 22-05-2011 9:51pm

Thanks mate. Yeah I'm not sure what to do with the back, if I try to brighten it its just pure noise, rather horrible looking. The flash defo did that to her eyes, the shot straight off the camera has very white whites if you get me. PP would actually be to dull them down? :-/

**edit im gonna see what I can do about that background now. It's starting to bug me!**

This c+c craic is great!! thanks for all the comments folks!
