Does this photo edit look ok?

[JayMan]

What do you guys think?

original pic (actually i've removed red eyes already & cropped):


edited:


Did i do an alright job? BTW this is me and my girlfriend incase u were wondering.

I done this cuz my gf wants this pic to go in a frame she got for xmas, but i thought it looked crappy with the red eyes and the darn glasses & jug. Is it noticable that the photo has been edited if you were just looking at the 2nd pic?

Thanks

Looks good Jayman, good job, nice photo!

You both look a little flush in the face. I'm guessing drinking or fooling around (or both - which is twice as nice) .

Looks pretty good! Just a suggestion I think I would just lightly blur / airbrush the bright spot on her left and the bright Material? on your left in the background. Just a light touch !! If you remove thos spots completely it tends to show as retouched. Softening them helps to keep the eye focused on the two of you. Like having the background slightly out of focus.

That slight flush effect in the skin tones is pretty common when you scan / transfer from print to computer. Probably not there in the original. But should be adjusted if he is going to send / use it for computer display though.

Alrighty, how about this for blurring the "shiny material" (it was actually a cape that she wore over the top of her dress)

Look bette to my eye at least. Sharp looking g/f by the way !
You've got good taste! Hers might be questionable though!! Better watch out on that second picture! You might not like the points on that pitchfork

Nice editing job. But if you're gonna edit it, why not go all out and make the background more exciting.



(I was gonna airbrush that chesthair out for ya but didn't have the time.)

j/k of course. But you know, anyone who puts their mug up is fair game.
